Opportunity Information: Apply for DOS PAS FY23 01
The U.S. Embassy Kampala Public Diplomacy Annual Program Statement (Funding Opportunity Number: DOS PAS FY23 01) is a discretionary grant opportunity run by the Public Diplomacy Section (PDS) at the U.S. Mission to Uganda under the U.S. Department of State. It is offered through the Embassy's Public Diplomacy Small Grants Program and is designed to fund projects that advance the Embassy's public diplomacy priorities in Uganda. Rather than being a single narrowly defined project solicitation, it functions as an annual statement that explains what kinds of activities the Embassy wants to support, the themes it is prioritizing, and the process applicants must follow to request funding.
At its core, the program aims to strengthen mutual understanding and encourage positive relations between Ugandans and Americans. Funded projects are expected to reinforce shared values connected to the program's priority topics and to build meaningful connections between the American people and Ugandan participants. A major focus is placed on engaging high-potential Ugandan youth and young professionals between the ages of 16 and 35, while also including opportunities to reach established professional leaders. The Embassy is looking for projects that do more than simply deliver services; the intended outcome is deeper engagement, improved understanding of U.S. perspectives and policy, and durable people-to-people ties that can continue beyond the grant period.
A key requirement is that every proposed program must include a clear American component. This can take the form of an American cultural element or a substantive connection to U.S. experts, U.S. organizations, or U.S. institutions in a relevant field. The point of this requirement is to ensure the project directly supports public diplomacy goals by creating exposure to U.S. experience, approaches, and viewpoints, and by enabling authentic collaboration or exchange between Ugandan audiences and American counterparts. Proposals that treat the American element as incidental rather than integral may be less competitive because the program explicitly ties funding to promoting understanding of U.S. policy and perspectives.
The opportunity is open to a broad range of applicants. Eligible entities include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including those with 501(c)(3) status and those without 501(c)(3) status), and individuals. The eligibility list also includes an "other" category with additional details referenced in the full announcement, which suggests the Embassy may consider other types of applicants if they fit the criteria described in the official guidance.
Funding is provided in the form of a grant, with an award ceiling of $40,000 per award. The Embassy anticipated making approximately four awards under this announcement. Applications were reviewed twice during Fiscal Year 2023, with submission deadlines of March 31, 2023 and June 15, 2023, and the original closing date listed as June 15, 2023. The funding activity category is labeled as "Other," indicating the supported activities may cut across multiple areas and are further clarified in the announcement text, consistent with a public diplomacy small grants program that can fund a range of engagement, exchange, cultural, educational, and outreach initiatives as long as they align with the stated objectives and themes.
In practical terms, a strong proposal under this opportunity would clearly describe a project that engages Ugandan target audiences, especially youth and young professionals, and demonstrates how the program will create sustained interaction with American people or institutions. It would also spell out the intended outcomes in public diplomacy terms, such as improved mutual understanding, strengthened professional or community networks linking Uganda and the United States, and increased awareness of U.S. approaches or policy perspectives relevant to the project topic.Apply for DOS PAS FY23 01
