The U.S. Embassy in Dar es Salaam is offering the Public Diplomacy Small Grants to foster mutual understanding and cultural exchange between the U.S. and Tanzania.

Please note: For profit or commercial entities are not eligible to apply.

The U.S. Embassy in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, announces an open competition for initiatives that promote educational and cultural engagement and foster mutual understanding between the United States and Tanzania. The Embassy seeks projects designed to further the development of Tanzania’s future leaders, build the capacity of Tanzanian institutions, and promote awareness and understanding of shared U.S. and Tanzanian values.

Successful proposals will include a component that relates to the United States. This could be a component that promotes participation in U.S. exchange programs and sharing of experiences during U.S. exchange programs, sharing of models and ideas learned during U.S. exchange programs, promotion of U.S. culture and values, or components that promote a better understanding of the United States. Successful proposals will clearly describe the U.S. component of the program. Successful proposals will clearly define anticipated results of the program, when results will be expected, and how the U.S. Embassy can measure the anticipated results. Successful grantees will proactively show progress towards results through regular reporting to the U.S. Embassy. U.S. Embassy officials will visit the program to monitor progress.

Proposals that support construction, social welfare projects, partisan or political party activity, religious activity, commercial or trade activities, scientific research, professional development for individuals, or development activities will NOT be considered. Proposals without a clear American component or that do not clearly and directly support one of the three program goals (Strengthening and Promoting Democracy and Human Rights; Improving Education of Tanzanians; or Promoting Broad-Based Economic Growth) will NOT be considered.
