Opportunity Information: Apply for PDS PRAIA FY24 APS
The U.S. Embassy in Praia, through its Public Diplomacy Section (PDS) at the U.S. Department of State, is offering funding through its Public Diplomacy Small Grants Program under an Annual Program Statement (APS). The main goal is to support projects that strengthen ties between the United States and Cabo Verde by advancing shared priorities and increasing people-to-people connections. Projects focused on environmental issues, renewable energy, small business promotion, and expanding English-language learning are especially encouraged and may receive special consideration.
The opportunity supports a wide range of public diplomacy-style programming. Typical examples include academic or professional lectures and seminars, speaker events, professional and academic exchanges, journalism trainings and exchanges, and technology-focused activities such as hackathons and coding camps. The Embassy is also interested in projects that build relationships between U.S. colleges and universities and Cabo Verdean higher education institutions, as well as initiatives that connect with American Chambers of Commerce, businesses, and regional organizations. Community-focused ideas are also welcome, such as municipal or regional libraries and community centers interested in becoming an American Space. Programs designed and led by alumni of U.S.-sponsored educational or professional exchanges are also highlighted as good fits.
Priority program areas are clearly defined. One major area is English language programming, including English essay contests or thematic English-language initiatives. Another priority is entrepreneurship and economic development, with added emphasis on proposals that aim to increase environmental tourism. A third priority is partnership-building between U.S. and Cabo Verdean institutions committed to education, academic research, and cross-cultural academic exchange specifically in environmental protection and renewable energy.
In terms of who should be served, proposals are expected to primarily engage Cabo Verdeans within Cabo Verde. Diaspora participation can be included, but it cannot replace a strong local focus. The Embassy encourages projects that reach youth, women, and marginalized communities, while also naming additional audiences of interest such as the LGBT community, persons with disabilities, journalists and media professionals, entrepreneurs, NGOs, and English teachers.
The APS also lists several activities that are not eligible for funding. These include publishing or translating books, paying for conference attendance (for example, sending participants to large international conferences), partisan political activities, charitable or development work, construction, religious programming that supports specific religious activities, fundraising campaigns, lobbying for legislation or specific programs, scientific research, projects mainly intended to grow or develop the applicant organization itself, and projects that duplicate existing programs.
Eligible applicants include registered not-for-profit organizations (including think tanks and civil society/NGOs with relevant programming experience), individuals, non-profit or governmental educational institutions, and governmental institutions. The grant is categorized as discretionary funding and will be awarded as a grant under CFDA number 19.040 by the U.S. Mission to Cape Verde. The award ceiling is $24,000 per project. The funding opportunity is listed as PDS PRAIA FY24 APS, created on March 8, 2024, with an original closing date of June 30, 2024.Apply for PDS PRAIA FY24 APS
