Category Explanation
The U.S. Embassy Public Affairs Section (PAS) has in the past provided grants and funding opportunities to organizations and individuals utilizing the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) process and a small grants committee with strict reporting and monitoring requirements in English only. This will continue to be the process for grants of $15,000 and above. Additionally, PAS would like to work with a local primary partner to extend our reach to organizations across the nation and accept applications for grant proposals under $15,000 in English and Divehi. Working via a cooperative agreement, the primary award would go to a local NGO with reach into all communities across the atolls. Under this project, a partnership will be formed between the local NGO and PAS Colombo to select qualified grant applicants. The local partner will administer and implement the grants with modified reporting and monitoring requirements. Program Goals: The goals of this funding opportunity are similar to those in our NOFO process but extend our reach to new organizations and applicants: 1. Promote tolerance, by funding proposals that combat hate and build community cohesion; engage at-risk youth; promote digital literacy; and engage communities on respect for diversity. 2. Improve respect for human rights, through programs which strengthen democratic values; enhance awareness and protection of human rights principles; and encourage gender equality. 3. Improve respect for and application of freedom of expression, through programs that promote a free and open media; strengthen understanding of social media; empower journalists through training (including ethics, investigative techniques, and English language) Section II. Program Description Objective: To promote funding opportunities to smaller organizations with the capacity to lead and develop programs that may not have the infrastructure to compete in our formal NOFO process. Local implementing partner will have the capacity to assist and offer financial planning skills to organizations to submit proposals and budgets in a simplified format. The local partner will solicit and accept applications six times per year and vote on applications every two months in conjunctions with PAS. PAS reserves the right to review all submissions and have substantial involvement and final say and approval on any grant applications. The local partner will monitor the progress and success of the program with
