Opportunity Information: Apply for DOS PDS CONAKRY FY23 02

The U.S. Embassy Conakry Public Diplomacy Section (PDS), under the U.S. Department of State, is seeking program ideas for a grant opportunity focused on conflict prevention and stability in Guinea. The core aim is to support initiatives that strengthen social cohesion and help make governance more responsive, inclusive, and accountable, particularly in parts of the country considered most vulnerable to conflict and instability. Rather than requesting full project proposals right away, the Embassy is starting with a preliminary screening step so organizations can share high-level concepts before investing time in a complete application package.

This opportunity is structured as a two-step competition. In the first phase, interested organizations must submit a short Statement of Interest (SOI) that is only one to three pages long. The SOI is meant to be concise and focused on clearly communicating the program idea and its objectives; it is explicitly not a full proposal and should not be treated like one. The purpose of the SOI stage is to let the Embassy evaluate and compare ideas at an early point and identify the concepts that best match the Embassy's goals. After this initial merit review, only selected applicants will be invited to proceed to the second phase, which is developing and submitting a full proposal. Those full proposals will then undergo a second merit review, after which final funding decisions will be made.

From a funding perspective, the instrument type is a grant, and the opportunity is categorized under "Other" for activity type, with the associated CFDA (assistance listing) number 19.979. The published maximum award amount is $250,000, and the Embassy anticipates making up to 10 awards, indicating the possibility of multiple funded projects rather than a single large award. The opportunity is posted by the Department of State, U.S. Mission to Guinea, and the grant notice was created on May 31, 2023, with an original closing date of July 1, 2023.

Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced in the full notice. In practical terms, this typically means a range of non-traditional applicants may be allowed, but interested organizations would need to confirm the specific eligibility rules in the official instructions. Overall, the Embassy is signaling that it wants implementable, well-targeted program concepts that address drivers of instability by improving relationships and trust within communities and between communities and local or regional authorities, with an emphasis on cohesion, inclusion, and accountable governance in higher-risk areas of Guinea.
