(NOFO)</strong></p> <p>The U.S. Embassy Bangui Public Diplomacy Section (PDS) of the U.S. Department of State is pleased to announce that funding is available through its Public Diplomacy American Spaces Support Funds Program. This document outlines our funding priorities, the strategic themes we focus on, and the procedures for submitting requests for funding. Please carefully follow all instructions below. Organizations and individuals interested in participating in this call for proposals should submit proposals to BanguiGrants@state.gov by <strong>July 31, 2024</strong>.</p> <p><strong> </strong><strong>This notice is subject to funding availability.</strong></p> <p><strong> </strong><strong>PROGRAM DESCRIPTION</strong></p> <p>The U.S. Embassy Bangui Public Diplomacy Section (PDS) of the U.S. Department of State invites individuals and non-profit organizations to submit project proposals to carry out monthly programming at the Bangui American Center for a one-year period. The Bangui American Center is part of the worldwide American Spaces network. American Spaces are the U.S. government’s primary public cultural and information centers abroad that provide free and open access for communities worldwide interested in learning more about the United States. Through people-to-people connections and modern environments equipped with advanced technologies, over 600 American Spaces in 140 countries serve as the initial experience that millions of global visitors have with the United States, building mutual understanding and partnership. These innovative hubs offer programs and events that foster learning, discussion, and civic engagement around democratic principles.</p> <p>Project proposals should have an intrinsic public diplomacy objective in support of the Priority Program Areas listed below:</p> <ul> <li>Promoting cross-cultural understanding and supporting English language learning in Central African Republic</li> <li>Encouraging women’s empowerment</li> <li>Enhancing computer literacy skills</li> <li>Capacity-building workshop on job skills</li> <li>Education and teaching</li> </ul> <p>The primary target audience is young Central Africans between the ages of 18 and 35. The principal method of engagement will be through in-person programming at the Bangui American Center. Preference will be given to proposals that prioritize and maximize the needs of Central African youth while limiting overhead, equipment, and other expenses that do not directly support program participants. A successful proposal will develop a clear monthly calendar of activities spanning up to twelve months from October 2024 – September 2025 at the Bangui American Center. A successful proposal will also specify a defined audience and directly address at least one of the key programming areas mentioned above.</p> <ol> <li><strong>FEDERAL AWARD INFORMATION</strong></li> </ol> <p><strong>Announcement Posted: </strong>July 1, 2024<br /> <strong>Closing Date for Applications: </strong>July 31, 2024<br /> <strong>Funding Type:</strong> Grant</p> <p><strong>Expected Size of Individual Awards:</strong> Between $3,000 to $9,000.</p> <p><strong>Program Performance Period</strong>: Proposed programs should be completed <a name="_Toc534033793"></a>within 9 to 12 months.<strong> </strong></p> <ol> <li><strong><strong>ELIGILIBITY INFORMATION</strong></strong><strong>1.
