Opportunity Information: Apply for DOS RWANDA PE 2022 01
The Ambassador's Special Self-Help Fund (ASSHF) is a discretionary grant program run by the U.S. Department of State, through the U.S. Mission to Rwanda, focused on practical community development projects that help reduce poverty and hunger in sub-Saharan Africa. The program is designed around the idea of self-reliance, meaning it prioritizes projects where the community is not just a recipient of assistance but an active partner that contributes meaningful local resources (such as labor, materials, or other in-kind support) and can keep the project operating after the grant ends. A key theme of the fund is sustainability, so proposals are generally expected to show how the results will last over time rather than relying on ongoing outside funding.
This specific funding opportunity is listed under the title "Ambassador's Special Self-Help Fund (ASSHF)" with the opportunity number "DOS RWANDA PE 2022 01." The assistance instrument is a grant, and the primary activity category is community development. It is associated with CFDA number 19.220. The opportunity was posted on May 24, 2022, with an original application deadline of July 25, 2022. The award ceiling is $15,000 per award, and the program anticipated making about 7 awards under this notice, indicating a small-grants model aimed at supporting several community-level efforts rather than a single large project.
In terms of who can apply, eligibility is broadly described as "Others," with additional details referenced in a separate eligibility clarification field (not included in the text provided). In practice, opportunities framed this way often target local organizations, community-based groups, or other nontraditional applicants that can demonstrate strong community buy-in and the ability to implement and sustain a project. The overall context for the program is that, over the prior nine years, the State Department invested about $2 million per year to support Special Self-Help projects across 47 countries in sub-Saharan Africa, underscoring that this is a long-running, continent-wide initiative that Rwanda participates in through the U.S. Mission's local grantmaking process.Apply for DOS RWANDA PE 2022 01
