Description

The U.S. Embassy Islamabad Public Affairs Section’s (PAS) Community Engagement Office (CEO) is pleased to announce an open competition for awards, contingent on funding availability, through the Public Diplomacy Grants Program. This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) seeks proposals identifying innovative ways to mitigate radical and extremist narratives in Pakistan by engaging religious communities and schools. Building on the recent Government of Pakistan religious school reform initiative, the projects should also support partnerships with relevant stakeholders to reduce violent extremist and radical ideologies through a process of integration, capacity building, critical thinking, and structured dialogue to build resilient and empowered communities collaboratively. The funds awarded through this NOFO should strengthen local institutions/bodies, organizations, and communities to build self-sustaining capacity to implement long-term interventions to reduce violent extremism and ultimately contribute to a peaceful, stable and prosperous Pakistan. Proposals have a funding floor of $150,000 and a funding ceiling of $300,000 for a project of up to a two-year duration. Organizations may submit multiple project proposals under this NOFO, with each project being submitted as a separate application. Applicants MUST submit a separate Application Summary Coversheet for each and must clearly outline the project goal and objectives addressed within.
