Opportunity Summary:
The Annual Program Statement titled "Annual Program Statement--Sindh and Balochistan" (Funding Opportunity Number SCAISB 16 AW 005 03212016) is a discretionary U.S. government grant opportunity issued by the U.S. Department of State (DOS-PAK) through the U.S. Consulate General in Karachi. It seeks proposals for Public Diplomacy Small Grants projects designed to advance the consulate's public diplomacy priorities by expanding media engagement, strengthening people-to-people ties, and building or strengthening local partner capacity. In practical terms, the program is looking for activities that help connect communities, institutions, and professionals, improve collaboration and mutual understanding, and support networks and organizations that can sustain engagement beyond a single event.
Projects funded under this opportunity must be implemented in Sindh Province and, within Balochistan Province, specifically in the administrative divisions of Gwadar, Lasbela, and Quetta. The award has a budget ceiling of USD 50,000 per project, and project activities are expected to be completed within a maximum period of one year. The funding instrument types listed are grants and cooperative agreements, meaning applicants could receive either a more traditional grant arrangement or a cooperative agreement that typically involves closer coordination with the funding agency during implementation, depending on the project design and oversight needs.
The program falls under CFDA number 19.501 and is categorized under "Other" for funding activity, reflecting that it is tailored to public diplomacy goals rather than a narrow technical sector. The opportunity anticipated making up to 35 awards, suggesting a relatively broad small-grants portfolio rather than a single large project. Eligibility is listed as "Others," which indicates that applicants may include a range of organizations or entities as defined in the full eligibility guidance, rather than being limited to a single applicant type.
The opportunity was posted and created on March 21, 2016, with an application deadline of May 31, 2016 (original and current closing dates are the same). Overall, it is a small-grants call aimed at supporting locally implemented, time-limited projects in targeted areas of Sindh and Balochistan that align with the U.S. Consulate General Karachi's public diplomacy objectives, especially those focused on media engagement, community and institutional connections, and strengthening local partners.
