Opportunity Information: Apply for PAS LUSAKA STEP 2019
The "Stepping Towards an AIDS Free 2020" opportunity is a U.S. Department of State public diplomacy small grants competition run by the U.S. Embassy to Zambia, Public Affairs Section (PAS). It is designed to fund a single project that uses cultural programming, specifically dance-based engagement, to strengthen people-to-people ties between the United States and Zambia while also supporting public health messaging connected to Zambia's AIDS-free 2020 campaign. The core idea is to pair arts and exchange activities with youth-focused outreach that highlights shared values and encourages positive bilateral cooperation.
At the center of the project is a planned visit by the U.S. dance group Step Afrika, expected to travel to Zambia for one week sometime between September and October 2019. The funded partner would play a key role in making that visit successful by organizing and hosting activities that bring Step Afrika into direct contact with Zambian youth and communities. The Embassy is looking for proposals that not only celebrate cultural exchange through performance and instruction, but also intentionally connect those engagements to broader social goals, including awareness and momentum around HIV/AIDS prevention and an AIDS-free generation narrative.
The activities the Embassy expects to be included are practical and programmatic. On the logistical side, the grantee would coordinate the visiting group’s in-country needs, including accommodation and related arrangements in Lusaka and Central Province. On the program delivery side, the grantee would coordinate artistic and cultural workshops, master classes, collaborative sessions, and joint performances across venues in Lusaka and Central Province. In addition, the grantee would organize public performances in those same areas, creating opportunities for wider community participation beyond the workshop audiences. In effect, the award supports an organization that can manage event production, partner coordination, youth engagement, and the on-the-ground details required for a short, intensive cultural tour.
This Notice of Funding Opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and may be issued as either a cooperative agreement or a grant, indicating the Embassy may remain actively involved in shaping or supporting implementation depending on the final award structure. The funding activity category is listed as health, reflecting the campaign linkage to HIV/AIDS outcomes, even though the primary method of engagement is cultural programming and public diplomacy. The program falls under CFDA number 19.040, which is commonly associated with public diplomacy and related State Department assistance programming.
Eligibility is aimed at organizations that can credibly implement arts programming and manage public events, including public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, U.S. nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than higher education institutions), and other eligible entities as further clarified in the opportunity’s additional eligibility information. The Embassy anticipates making one award, with a maximum funding level (award ceiling) of $35,000, meaning proposals would need to be designed to deliver high-impact activities within a relatively modest budget and tight implementation timeline tied to the Step Afrika visit window.
Key administrative details include an opportunity number of PAS LUSAKA STEP 2019, a posting/creation date of July 3, 2019, and an original application deadline of August 2, 2019. Overall, the grant is best understood as a focused, event-driven cultural diplomacy project: support a U.S. performing arts delegation’s week-long Zambia program, ensure smooth logistics, deliver youth-centered workshops and collaborative performances, and use the visibility and engagement of dance to reinforce community-oriented public health messaging aligned with the AIDS-free 2020 campaign.Apply for PAS LUSAKA STEP 2019
