Description

A. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The U.S. Embassy Mbabane, Eswatini of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications for funding through the Ambassador’s Special Self-Help Program. This is a Notice of Funding Opportunity outlining our funding priorities and the procedure for submitting requests for funding. Please follow all instructions below. Priority Region: All 4 regions of Eswatini Program Objectives: The Ambassador’s Special-Self Help (SSH) Programme is a grass-roots grant assistance programme that allows the U.S Ambassadors to support local requests for small community-based development projects. The purpose of the Special Self-Help Programme is to support communities through modest grants that will positively impact local communities. The SSH philosophy is to help communities to help themselves. Applicant Criteria All citizens of Eswatini representing a civilian, religious, social, community development, special interest, disability, or advocacy group or organization may request funding for a community activity. Groups must be registered with the proper authorities. The project must be submitted by an organized group who are motivated, have a real need, and have already successfully implemented projects in the community. The project should be feasible and based on the socio-economic context of the local community.
