Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Embassy in Conakry, Guinea, through its Public Affairs Section, announced a small-grants opportunity for Ebola-related projects under funding opportunity number CKY PAS FY16 002. The program is a discretionary grant in the health category (CFDA 19.040) and was posted on June 14, 2016. Its purpose is to fund practical, community-centered activities that either reduce the risk of future Ebola outbreaks or support Ebola survivors as they return to everyday life. The Embassy indicated that funded activities must be completed and grant funds distributed no later than August 31, 2016, which suggests a short implementation timeline and a focus on projects that can produce near-term results.
Projects are expected to directly benefit at least one of three target areas: Ebola survivors, the local health system, or local communities. Competitive proposals would likely be those that strengthen prevention and preparedness at the community level, improve local response capacity, or address stigma and reintegration challenges faced by survivors. The Embassy specifically noted that proposals featuring technical innovation would receive special consideration, as would projects centered on training and capacity-building. In other words, the emphasis is on knowledge transfer, skills development, improved practices, and sustainable local capability rather than on one-time purchases.
The opportunity also sets clear funding boundaries and restrictions. Only projects with total budgets of USD 10,000 or less will be considered, making this a micro-grant program aimed at smaller, targeted interventions rather than large-scale programming. While cost-sharing or matching contributions are welcomed, they are not required, so applicants can apply without bringing additional funds, though leveraging partner support could strengthen an application. At the same time, the Embassy stated that projects focused mainly on purchasing equipment or paying salaries will not be considered, signaling that proposals should avoid being driven by capital procurement or ongoing personnel costs and instead prioritize programmatic activities like workshops, training-of-trainers models, community outreach, awareness campaigns tied to behavior change, and systems-strengthening efforts that do not rely primarily on buying goods.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations that do not have U.S. IRS 501(c)(3) status (with institutions of higher education excluded from that limitation as written). The application deadline was Tuesday, July 5, 2016, and applicants were instructed to submit a complete application packet, including the required attached form, by email to conakrypd@state.gov.
