The U.S. Embassy Niamey PDS is offering this grant to support sustainable projects fostering U.S. policy understanding.

Registered not-for-profit organizations, including think tanks and civil society/non-governmental organizations with programming experience.  

Individuals   

Non-profit or governmental educational institutions  

Governmental institutions  

Reminder: All programs must include an American cultural element, or connection with American expert(s), organization(s), or institution(s) in a specific field that will promote increased understanding of U.S. policy and perspectives.  

For-profit or commercial entities are not eligible to apply.    

Cost Sharing or Matching  

Cost sharing is not required.  

Other Eligibility Requirements  

Applicants are only allowed to submit one proposal per organization or per person. If more than one proposal is submitted from an organization, all proposals from that institution will be considered ineligible for funding.  

In order to be eligible to receive an award, all organizations must have a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) and a valid registration on www.SAM.gov.    

PDS Niamey invites individuals or organizations interested in submitting a proposal to use the award as seed money to generate buy-in from other stakeholders. We will be looking for partnerships and cost-sharing with host country civil society organizations and the business community that can extend the impact of your proposals. Competitive proposals will also address the issue of sustainability — explaining how the project or program will continue beyond the initial support from the U.S. government. All programs must include an American cultural element, or connection with American expert(s), organization(s), or institution(s) in a specific field that will promote increased understanding of U.S. policy and perspectives.
