Ambassador's Special Self-help Annual Program Statement: The U.S. Ambassador’s Special Self-Help Program assists community-based, community-run projects in the local communities of the Republic of Cameroon. The goal of the Self-Help Program is to improve the basic economic and social conditions of the village or community and should benefit the greatest number of people possible. The project initiative should come primarily from community action, but it can be sponsored and assisted by institutions, associations, government, or other sources outside the community. Projects must involve a self-help contribution of labor, material, and/or money freely given by members of the local community. The community must be able to operate and maintain the project over its intended life. The U.S. Government's support for the project must be a one-time-only contribution. Projects must be completed within one year. Preference will be given to organizations that can demonstrate sustainability and a clear way to scale up activities. In the past year, the Self-Help program awarded eight grants at an average of US$ 7,600 with a one-year implementation period. Applicants will be assessed on standard criteria that include, but are not limited to, feasibility of proposed project, sound financial and management controls, a level of sustainability, and appropriate community ties.
