Description

The U.S. Embassy Namibia is pleased to announce the start of the U.S. Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation (AFCP) 2023 Grants Program. The application process involves two rounds: In Round 1, the Embassy will collect project ideas in the form of concept notes. In Round 2, concept notes that will be selected will have to be transformed into full project applications for submission. The U.S. Embassy is inviting NGOs, museums, or similar institutions to submit concept notes for the Ambassador’s Cultural Preservation Fund (AFCP). The AFCP Grants Program supports the preservation of archaeological sites, historic buildings and monuments, museum collections, and forms of traditional cultural expression, such as indigenous languages and crafts. Appropriate project activities may include: a) Anastylosis (reassembling a site from its original parts) b) Conservation (addressing damage or deterioration to an object or site) c) Consolidation (connecting or reconnecting elements of an object or site) d) Documentation (recording in analog or digital format the condition and salient features of an object, site, or tradition) e) Inventory (listing of objects, sites, or traditions by location, feature, age, or other unifying characteristic or state) f) Preventive Conservation (addressing conditions that threaten or damage a site, object, collection, or tradition) g) Restoration (replacing missing elements to recreate the original appearance of an object or site, usually appropriate only with fine arts, decorative arts, and historic buildings) h) Stabilization (reducing the physical disturbance of an object or site) Sites and Objects Having a Religious Connection: An item with a religious connection (including a place of worship) may be the subject of a cultural preservation grant if the item derives its primary significance and is nominated solely based on architectural, artistic, historical, or other cultural (not religious) criteria.
