Opportunity Information: Apply for PD CONAKRY FY24 01
The U.S. Embassy in Conakry, through the Public Diplomacy Section (PDS) of the U.S. Department of State, is inviting organizations and individuals to submit Statements of Interest (SOIs) for grant funding under opportunity number PD CONAKRY FY24 01 (CFDA 19.040). The goal of this funding is to support programs that strengthen relationships between the people of the United States and Guinea. The Embassy is specifically looking for cultural and exchange-focused activities that highlight shared values, encourage mutual understanding, and promote bilateral cooperation between the two countries.
This opportunity uses a two-step application process designed to reduce the burden on applicants at the beginning. The first step is submitting a short, clearly written SOI in English, limited to one or two pages, using the Embassy's online submission form. At this stage, applicants are not expected to provide a full proposal or complete implementation plan. Instead, the SOI should briefly explain the program concept and its objectives in a way that allows the Embassy to assess whether the idea aligns with public diplomacy priorities. After a merit review of the eligible SOIs, selected applicants will be invited to move to the second step, which is developing and submitting a full proposal. Full proposals will be reviewed again through a second merit review process before any final award decisions are made.
A core requirement is that every proposed program must include a clear American element. This can be incorporated in practical ways, such as partnering with an American expert, involving a U.S. organization or institution, integrating American cultural content, or creating a structured connection to U.S. perspectives in a relevant field. The intent behind this requirement is to promote increased understanding of U.S. policy and viewpoints while also building meaningful people-to-people ties.
Eligibility is broad, and first-time applicants are strongly encouraged to apply. Eligible applicants include U.S. and Guinean not-for-profit organizations (including think tanks and civil society or non-governmental organizations), educational institutions, other non-profit entities, non-governmental institutions, and individuals. The funding instrument is a grant, the opportunity category is discretionary, and the listed award ceiling is $22,000. The original closing date for submitting the SOI is May 31, 2024.Apply for PD CONAKRY FY24 01
