Opportunity Information: Apply for PDS WINDHOEK FY2024 05 5
The U.S. Embassy Windhoek Public Diplomacy Section (PDS) Annual Program Statement is a discretionary grant opportunity that funds small-scale public diplomacy projects designed to strengthen cultural ties between the United States and Namibia. The core purpose is to support cultural and exchange programming that highlights shared values, encourages people-to-people connections, and advances practical bilateral cooperation. A central requirement is that every proposed program includes a clear American cultural element or a tangible connection to the United States, such as collaboration with U.S. experts, U.S.-based organizations, or U.S. institutions in a relevant field. The intent behind that U.S. component is to promote greater understanding of U.S. policy approaches and perspectives while building mutually beneficial engagement with Namibian communities and institutions.
Projects are expected to align with U.S. government priorities and to do more than general cultural outreach. Competitive proposals will directly support U.S. treaty or bilateral agreement obligations where relevant, and they should also connect explicitly to the U.S. Mission to Namibia Integrated Country Strategy (ICS), which lays out four-year, Chief-of-Mission-led priorities for U.S. engagement in Namibia. The listed ICS focus areas include empowering an inclusive, rules-based democracy; catalyzing a resilient and sustainable economy; and cultivating equitable access to services to help unleash Namibia's human resources. In practical terms, applicants should show how their activities contribute to these themes through concrete outputs (such as workshops, exchanges, training series, public events, or collaborative productions) and measurable outcomes (such as skills gained, partnerships formed, audience reached, or policy-relevant understanding improved).
The announcement also highlights cultural heritage as a specific area of interest, particularly programs that support disaster risk reduction for cultural heritage in disaster-prone areas and efforts related to post-disaster cultural heritage recovery. Applicants can also propose projects that complement existing efforts of the Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA), including the Cultural Heritage Center, or other public diplomacy programs. This signals that proposals that reinforce or extend ongoing U.S. cultural heritage and public diplomacy initiatives, rather than duplicating them, may be especially responsive to the Embassy's objectives.
Eligibility is broad and includes registered not-for-profit organizations (including think tanks and civil society or non-governmental organizations with relevant programming experience), individuals, non-profit or governmental educational institutions, and governmental institutions. American entities are eligible, but they are expected to demonstrate credible expertise in the Namibian context, meaning they should show knowledge of local conditions, appropriate partnerships, and a realistic plan for implementation in Namibia. The opportunity is issued by the U.S. Mission to Namibia under CFDA numbers 19.022 and 19.040, using a grant instrument.
Funding is modest and structured for multiple awards. The award ceiling is USD 10,000 per grant, with an anticipated five awards. The opportunity was created on January 8, 2024, and the original closing date is June 30, 2024. Overall, the program is best suited to targeted, well-defined initiatives that can be delivered within a limited budget, clearly feature a U.S. connection, and demonstrate direct relevance to Embassy priorities in governance, economic resilience and sustainability, equitable service access, and cultural heritage protection or recovery.Apply for PDS WINDHOEK FY2024 05 5
