The US Embassy Djibouti Public Affairs Section (PAS) is pleased to announce that funding is available through its Public Diplomacy Small Grants Program. This is an Annual Program Statement (APS), outlining the funding priorities, the strategic themes they focus on, and the procedures for submitting requests for funding.
Public Affairs Section (PAS) Djibouti invites proposals for programs that strengthen ties between the United States and Djibouti through cultural programming that highlights shared values and promotes bilateral cooperation. Competitive programs support a priority program area. All programs must include an American cultural element, or connection with American expert/s, organization/s, or institution/s in a specific field that will promote increased understanding of U.S. policies and perspectives.
Priority Program Areas
- Empowerment of women and youth
- Promotion of English language skills
- Journalistic integrity and media literacy
- Promoting entrepreneurship and business development
- Cross-Cultural dialogue and understanding
Target Audiences
PAS Djibouti strongly encourages proposals that bring together various groups of people. Proposals should describe both the primary and secondary audiences for the program, including numbers anticipated to be reached. Primary audiences are those who will participate directly in the program, while secondary audiences are those who will be reached by the project’s primary audience, as a result of their participation. For example, in a teacher training program, the primary audience would be the teachers who will be trained, while the secondary audience would be their students.
