Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Embassy in Islamabad's Public Affairs Section (PAS), under the Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs, announced a discretionary funding opportunity to select one organization to manage the logistics for Pakistani participants in a two-week regional youth exchange program called "Camp Future Stars" in Turkey, scheduled for August 2013. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the grantee would carry out the day-to-day work while coordinating closely with the U.S. government on implementation details, compliance, and reporting. Although the camp itself includes youth from several countries across Central and South Asia (Pakistan, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan), this specific solicitation is limited to handling the Pakistan side only, not the full multinational program.
The project period runs from May 1, 2013 through September 30, 2013, covering the full logistical arc of sending a Pakistani delegation: preparations before travel, the travel itself, and the post-program wrap-up once participants return. The funded activities are explicitly practical and operational rather than program design for the entire camp. Expected responsibilities include organizing a pre-departure orientation for selected Pakistani youth, coordinating international travel and related arrangements, supporting staffing and personnel needs tied to the Pakistan delegation, and conducting a re-entry debrief after participants return. The available budget is meant to cover the full set of logistics-related costs associated with the Pakistani participants, including travel, operating expenses, and administrative/personnel expenses necessary to deliver the assignment.
Funding is capped at a total of $180,000, with an award ceiling of $180,000 and an estimated total funding amount of $180,000. Only one award was anticipated. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute additional funds of their own as a condition of eligibility or competitiveness. The activity category is listed as Education, and the program aligns with CFDA 19.501, described as Public Diplomacy Programs for Afghanistan and Pakistan, which signals that the grant is part of broader U.S. public diplomacy engagement in the region.
Eligibility is open to U.S., Pakistani, and international organizations or companies that have direct experience with exchange programs in Central and South Asia and that maintain an operational office in Pakistan. A physical presence in Pakistan is mandatory due to the hands-on nature of coordinating participants, orientations, documentation, and travel logistics. Applicants must be able to document that they are properly registered in-country, identify the office space from which they operate, and demonstrate administrative readiness, including evidence of acceptable accounting software and the capacity to meet programmatic and reporting requirements. U.S.-based organizations or companies are allowed to apply, but they must partner with a Pakistani organization or company, reinforcing the requirement for local operational capacity and on-the-ground implementation.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number SCAPPD 13 CA 074 SCA 03212013 and a posting date of March 21, 2013. The application deadline was April 11, 2013, with the opportunity later archived on May 11, 2013. For assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Ellen Delage, Afghanistan/Pakistan Program Specialist (Inquiries).
