This grant, offered by the Department of State’s Bureau of Conflict and Stabilization Operations (CSO), is for the purpose of strengthening Syrian civil society and fostering long-term stability. The program seeks to develop the capacity of civil society, prevent inter-communal violence, and amplify the messaging of the non-violent civilian opposition. It envisions engaging both opposition and non-opposition groups, such as business communities, women’s groups, religious figures, professional associations, and academics. The objective is to build inter-communal trust and create bridges for a future transition. Grant activities will support civil society groups in advancing civil administration effectiveness and transition planning, building their capacity, and amplifying their public messaging. CSO anticipates awarding approximately $2.5 million for these activities, supporting up to three projects.
