## What the grant funds

The U.S. Embassy N’Djamena Public Diplomacy Section (PDS) of the Bureau of African Affairs, U.S. Department of State, announces an open competition for organizations to submit a statement of interest (SOI) for funding to carry out a program that aligns with our strategic themes and priorities. Please carefully follow all instructions as outlined below. The submission of the SOI is the first step in a two-step process. In Round One, applicants are strongly encouraged to fill out and submit the linked statement of interest form designed to clearly communicate program idea and objectives. This is not a full proposal. The purpose of the SOI process is to allow applicants to submit program ideas for evaluation prior to the development of a full application. Upon a merit review of eligible SOIs, selected applicants will be invited to expand on their program ideas by submitting a full proposal package. These full proposals will go through a second merit review before final funding decisions are made. Program Objectives: PDS N’Djamena invites proposals for programs that strengthen ties between the U.S. and Chad through cultural, information and exchange programming that highlights shared values and promotes bilateral cooperation. All programs must include an American cultural element, or connection with American expert/s or alumni of U.S. government exchange programs, organization/s, or institution/s in a specific field that will promote increased understanding of U.S. policy and perspectives.
