Funding to boost People-to-people Ties between the United States and Tunisia

Funding to boost People-to-people Ties between the United States and Tunisia

Deadline: 30 March 2020

The Public Affairs Section (PAS) of the U.S. Embassy in Tunis is offering limited funding for proposals that advance Embassy goals related to democratic consolidation, security capacity, and the economic development of Tunisia.

10+ Funders for Agriculture, Food and Nutrition
10+ Global Donors for Improving Lives of Children in Poor Countries
10+ Donors that believe in building NGO capacities for Civil Society Development
15+ Donors for Saving the Planet: Grants for Environment, Conservation and Wildlife
Democratic Consolidation: Potential projects include media initiatives related to the development of investigative journalism, media ethics, and media literacy; proposals that provide public affairs training for civil society and the public sector; projects that raise awareness among Tunisians of new constitutionally guaranteed rights; and projects that foster more inclusive participation in Tunisian democracy.
Security Capacity: Potential projects include initiatives that seek to counter violent extremism among youth through the arts, sports, community service, debate/dialogue, and/or the development of practical skills.
Economic Development: Potential projects include initiatives that promote innovation and STEAM entrepreneurship, especially among youth and women; entrepreneurship education, training, networking, mentorship, strategic planning, and marketing; projects that address youth unemployment through the cultivation of marketable skills, including soft skills; proposals focused on community revitalization through the arts and cultural heritage preservation; and projects that foster the business development skills of artists and creative entrepreneurs.
In addition to promoting Embassy goals, all PAS projects must boost people-to-people ties between the United States and Tunisia and/or contribute to Tunisians’ understanding of the United States (policies, society, government, culture, history, etc.). This can be accomplished in many ways including, but not limited to, the participation of American citizens, organizations, and institutions in the proposed project, and the use of American texts, films, art, research, curriculums, or methodologies in the proposed project.
