What the grant funds

U.S. EMBASSY DAR ES SALAAM, PUBLIC DIPLOMACY SECTION (PDS) 2024 Annual Program Statement A. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The U.S. Embassy Dar es Salaam Public Diplomacy Section (PDS) is pleased to announce its Annual Program Statement (APS) for Fiscal Year 2024. Awards will be made up to the listed amount, based on funding availability. Please read this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) carefully. It outlines PDS funding priorities, the strategic lines of focus, and the procedures for submitting funding proposals. Bottom Line Up Front (BLUF) • This is a funding opportunity for which only U.S. and Tanzanian individuals, nonprofit organizations or academic institutions are eligible. • Alumni of USG programs proposals will be given a priority. • All proposals must include a significant American component, such as (but not limited to) building connections with American experts, organizations, or projects that promote an increased understanding of U.S. policy, perspectives, or culture. • PDS merit review of proposals takes time. While some responses may be received earlier, we intend to inform all applicants of the outcome of this process by October 2024. Program Objectives: Successful proposals will align with the strategic priorities of the U.S. Embassy in Tanzania as defined below. Their overall goal will be to develop and strengthen partnerships and knowledge sharing between Americans and Tanzanians, as well as institutions in both countries. Project activities must take place principally in Tanzania. Proposals that do not have a significant linkage to advancing shared priorities are unlikely to be considered. U.S. Embassy in Tanzania Strategic Priorities and Initiatives Public Campaign Around Civic Rights – This initiative’s objective seeks to execute a multipronged campaign to increase relevant stakeholders' confidence in the importance of increasing government transparency and inclusive decision-making, leading to increased democratic participation of the Tanzanian general public, and a more resilient democracy. Proposals in this area should strengthen and reinforce the practice of democratic principles within Tanzania (such as countering gender-based violence and intolerance of marginalized groups) and/or strengthen the capacity of Tanzanian civil society in fostering democratic values.
