## What the grant funds

The U.S. Embassy in Khartoum announces an open competition for organizations to submit ROUND 1 project proposals for funding through the U.S. Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation (AFCP) to carry out projects to preserve cultural heritage in Sudan. The deadline for submitting ROUND 1 proposal to the U.S. Embassy in Khartoum is Tuesday, December 20, 2022, 23:59 (Khartoum Local Time). Submissions received after this date and time will NOT be considered. Full implementation of the program is pending the availability of FY 2023 funds. Interested institutions are urged to consult with the Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Embassy in Khartoum as soon as possible for details. AFCP Program Objectives: The AFCP Grants Program supports the preservation of archaeological sites, historic buildings and monuments, museum collections, and forms of traditional cultural expression, such as indigenous languages and crafts. Appropriate project activities may include: Anastylosis (reassembling a site from its original parts) Conservation (addressing damage or deterioration to an object or site) Consolidation (connecting or reconnecting elements of an object or site) Documentation (recording in analog or digital format the condition and salient features of an object, site, or tradition) Inventory (listing of objects, sites, or traditions by location, feature, age, or other unifying characteristic or state) Preventive Conservation (addressing conditions that threaten or damage a site, object, collection, or tradition) Restoration (replacing missing elements to recreate the original appearance of an object or site, usually appropriate only with fine arts, decorative arts, and historic buildings) Stabilization (reducing the physical disturbance of an object or site) Competition Format: The U.S. Embassy in Khartoum will select proposals through a two-part process. Applicants must first submit a concept note which concisely and clearly communicates a program idea and its objectives before requiring the development of a full proposal application. Upon review of eligible proposals, U.S. Embassy Khartoum, in consultation with the Cultural Heritage Center of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (“the Center”), will invite selected applicants to expand their ideas into full proposal applications.
