Description:

A. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The U.S. Embassy Conakry, Public Diplomacy Section of the U.S. Department of State 

announces an open competition for interested organizations to submit a statement of interest 

(SOI) for funding a variety of program proposals that strengthen ties between the peoples of 

the United States and Guinea. The U.S. Embassy Public Diplomacy Section invites organizations 

interested in potential funding to submit SOI applications outlining program concepts that 

reflect this goal. Please carefully follow all instructions below.

The submission of the SOI is the first step in a two-step process. Applicants must first submit a 

concise one-to-two-page statement of interest in English that succinctly and clearly 

communicates the applicant’s program idea and objectives. This is not a full proposal. The 

purpose of the SOI process is to allow applicants to submit program ideas for the U.S. Embassy 

Public Diplomacy Section to evaluate prior to requiring the development of a full proposal. 

Upon a merit review of eligible SOIs, selected applicants will be invited to expand on their 

program idea(s) by submitting a full proposal. Full proposals will go through a second merit 

review before a final funding decision is made. 

Purpose: The U.S. Embassy in Guinea invites SOIs for programs that strengthen 

ties between the United States and Guinea through cultural and exchange programming that 

highlight shared values and promotes bilateral cooperation. 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.
