Deadline: 8 August 2018

The United States Embassy in Bangui has announced a call for proposals to support Central Africans sustainably managing natural resources.

The project should reach a broad Central African audience in a way that resonates. This proposal seeks to inform and engage Central Africans in managing CAR’s natural resources to benefit citizens rather than armed groups.

The Projects

• The project may be creative, using art (e.g., graphic novel, film, painting, radio/theater) to engage and inform audiences.
• The project must be clearly focused on sustainable natural resource management in the CAR context.
• The project should reach a large C.A.R. audience, particularly those that are illiterate or have limited education
• The project should engage Central Africans in its production in order to ensure that the project resonates with Central Africans caught in the conflict
• Projects that have a clear alignment between budget and project will have higher merit
