Opportunity Summary:
The "Annual Program Statement - Punjab" (Funding Opportunity Number SCAISB 16 AW 001 02102016) is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of State (DOS-PAK), offered through either grants or cooperative agreements. It invites proposals for public diplomacy projects that support the Public Affairs Section's goals in Pakistan, with a particular focus on Punjab Province. The overall purpose is to fund activities that expand and improve media engagement, strengthen people-to-people connections between Pakistan and the United States, and develop or reinforce local partner organizations and networks that can help sustain these ties over time.
Projects must align with the priority program objectives laid out in the solicitation and are expected to be implemented only within specific administrative divisions of Punjab: Lahore, Faisalabad, Dera Ghazi Khan, Bahawalpur, Multan, Sargodha, and Gujranwala. This geographic restriction is central to the opportunity, meaning proposed activities should be clearly designed for those locations and audiences, with implementation plans and partnerships that are feasible within those divisions.
Awards are relatively small and programmatic in nature, with budgets ranging from $10,000 to $50,000 per project and a maximum project period of up to one year. The opportunity anticipates making up to 50 awards, suggesting support for a broad portfolio of initiatives rather than a few large-scale projects. The CFDA number associated with the program is 19.501, and the activity category is listed as "Other," indicating the projects may span multiple public diplomacy formats rather than fitting a single standard program type.
The opportunity was posted and created on February 10, 2016, with an application deadline of May 31, 2016 (both the original and current closing date). Eligibility is indicated as "Others" with additional details referenced in the full solicitation, so applicants would need to consult the complete announcement to confirm which kinds of organizations or entities can apply and whether any specific restrictions or documentation requirements apply.
