Opportunity Information: Apply for SCAISB 17 AW 006 04202017
The U.S. Department of State, through the Public Affairs Section (PAS) at the U.S. Consulate General in Lahore, is offering funding under its Public Diplomacy Grants program for projects to be carried out in Punjab, Pakistan. This opportunity is framed as an Annual Program Statement focused on supporting Mission Pakistan priorities through public diplomacy-style programming, meaning projects that engage communities, strengthen institutions, and improve public outcomes in ways that also advance broader stability and development goals.
The main purpose of the funding is to advance two linked objectives. First, PAS is seeking projects that increase civilian capacity to reduce violent extremism, with particular attention to populations considered vulnerable to radicalization or recruitment. Second, PAS is looking for initiatives that contribute to a healthier, better educated, and more skillful workforce, which can include activities that build practical skills, improve educational outcomes, strengthen employability, or support community health and resilience. Proposals are expected to align clearly with one or both of these objectives as described in the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO).
Awards are expected to be issued as grants or cooperative agreements, with typical project budgets ranging from USD 20,000 to USD 50,000. Projects may run for up to one year. While the general listing notes an overall ceiling of USD 100,000, the stated target budget band indicates that most competitive proposals are likely to fall within the 20k to 50k range. The opportunity anticipates making approximately four awards.
A key restriction is geographic: the Consulate General in Lahore will only consider projects implemented in specific administrative divisions of Punjab Province. Eligible implementation locations are Lahore, Faisalabad, Dera Ghazi Khan, Bahawalpur, Multan, Sargodha, and Gujranwala. Proposals that include activities outside these divisions, or that propose implementation elsewhere in Pakistan, will not be considered, so applicants need to design the project footprint tightly around these specified areas.
The listing identifies the opportunity as discretionary funding and classifies the activity category as “Other,” with additional details to be provided in the full NOFO. The program is associated with CFDA number 19.501 (a common designation for State Department public diplomacy and exchange-related assistance). Eligibility is broadly described as “Others,” which typically signals that a range of non-federal entities may apply, but the exact eligible applicant types and any exclusions would be defined in the NOFO’s eligibility section.
Timing-wise, the opportunity was posted on April 20, 2017, with an original application deadline of June 20, 2017. Anyone using this summary for planning should treat those dates as specific to that cycle of funding and verify whether the Consulate has issued a newer annual statement or related NOFOs with updated deadlines and priorities.Apply for SCAISB 17 AW 006 04202017
