What the grant funds
A. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The U.S. Embassy Kyiv announces the 2024 Public Diplomacy Small Grants in Strategic Communications to support projects aimed at highlighting the importance of strategic communications and providing the tools to increase the outcome of the latter at the time of crisis, which would assist Ukraine to win the war and win the peace. Collaboration between the United States and Ukrainian organizations is encouraged. Priority Region: Ukraine Program Objectives: The U.S. Embassy Kyiv announces the 2024 Strategic Communications Grants Program (SCGP) to support projects aimed at strengthening capacities in strategic communications planning and delivery among, primarily, government officials and diplomats, as well as active think-tanks. Considering the ongoing war and anticipated challenges of the post-war period, effective communications become more important than ever. Establishing an effective dialogue with relevant audiences based on the principles of democracy and transparency requires a strategic approach to internal and external communications. The projects should be focused on exposing the target audiences to knowledge and developing the skills, necessary to clearly identify and communicate the priority goals, threats, and opportunities. Strategic Communications should be the focus of the projects, as a powerful tool for pursuing specific goals for Ukraine to win the war and win the future: • Effectively use diplomatic tools to inform the world about security, humanitarian, and economic conditions, and bring in new international audiences and mechanisms to set the ground for a just and lasting peace. • Unite Ukrainians by keeping strong ties with refugees outside Ukraine and reintegrating communities liberated from Russian occupation, internally displaced persons, returning refugees, victims of war-related violence, and veterans. • Promote Ukraine’s strengthening its civil society and democratic and economic institutions and implementing anti-corruption and economic reforms and institutions to achieve sustainable momentum towards Euro-Atlantic integration to win a secure and just future that delivers prosperity for all its citizens. Participants and Audiences: All project activities supported by the U.S. Embassy grant should target Ukrainian professionals who have a strong communication component in their jobs.
