The U.S. Consulate General Karachi Public Diplomacy Section (PDS Karachi) announces an open competition for one assistance award through this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), contingent on funding availability, through the Public Diplomacy Grants Program.

The project aims to leverage the expertise, resources, and technological advancements in the U.S. media to empower local radio stations, promote cultural exchange, and improve the overall quality and reach of radio broadcasting in the Sindh and Balochistan provinces. The project also aims to incorporate USG messaging to increase the awareness and broaden the current outreach to include the breadth of the U.S.-Pakistan bilateral cooperation and the “Green Alliance” framework. The timeframe for achieving project objectives must be clearly outlined in the proposal funding request. The project implementation period is 18 to 24 months. Proposals have a funding floor of $200,000 and a funding ceiling of $250,000.
