Opportunity Information: Apply for DOS PDS MOG FY24 01

The U.S. Embassy Mogadishu Public Diplomacy Section (PDS) has announced an open competition for small grants under the Public Diplomacy Small Grants Program, subject to funding availability. This program aims to strengthen cultural, academic, and professional ties between the U.S. and Somalia by supporting projects that promote shared values, mutual understanding, and bilateral cooperation. Eligible applicants include legally recognized non-profits, NGOs, or individuals who meet U.S. and Somali legal and technical requirements.

Funding for proposals ranges from $5,000 to $20,000, with an average grant of $10,000 for projects lasting up to one year. Proposals must incorporate an American cultural element or connection, such as collaboration with U.S. experts or institutions, to enhance understanding of U.S. policies and perspectives.

Grants will focus on the following priority areas: - **Countering Violent Extremism:** Supporting peacebuilding efforts and strengthening the role of community influencers, women, and religious leaders in anti-extremism initiatives. - **Economic Prosperity through Innovation and Entrepreneurship:** Assisting entrepreneurs, startups, and private sector organizations—especially women, youth, and marginalized groups—in networking, business planning, and navigating Somalia’s economic environment. - **Equal Participation in Politics, Peacebuilding, and the Economy:** Empowering Somali women and organizations involved in leadership, governance, and economic development. - **Youth Leadership and Development:** Providing leadership training and opportunities for university students, recent graduates, and marginalized youth. - **Media Professionalization:** Training journalists to combat disinformation, improve revenue generation, and develop technical skills across various media platforms. - **Promoting Rule of Law, Democracy, and Human Rights:** Supporting civic participation and democratic governance in Somalia. - **Climate Change Awareness and Mitigation:** Educating the public on climate change issues and strategies to mitigate its effects.

All proposals must clearly define target audiences (e.g., youth, entrepreneurs, media professionals, human rights activists, academics) and emphasize gender balance wherever possible. Projects can be nationwide or region-specific, with a justification for the chosen location.

Applicants must demonstrate their capability to implement activities effectively, provide measurable outputs and outcomes, ensure sustainability beyond the grant period, and include a media strategy for outreach. They must also show competency in financial and project oversight, including managing participant costs and partnerships.
