Opportunity Summary:
The Ukraine Public Diplomacy Capacity Building Project - Advisor is a U.S. Department of State funding opportunity administered through the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs, with program involvement by the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv. It seeks proposals for a one-year initiative designed to strengthen the Government of Ukraine's ability to plan, manage, and execute public diplomacy. The core concept is practical, hands-on capacity building rather than a short series of trainings: the program centers on placing a U.S. advisor directly inside Ukraine's Ministry of Foreign Affairs to provide sustained, day-to-day guidance and support.
The primary deliverable implied by the solicitation is increased institutional capability within the Ukrainian government to conduct effective public diplomacy, likely including improved strategy development, message coordination, outreach planning, stakeholder engagement, and the professionalization of public diplomacy processes within the ministry. The embedded advisor model suggests the awardee would be responsible for recruiting, supporting, and deploying a qualified U.S. citizen advisor who can work closely with ministry counterparts, transfer skills, and help create durable systems that remain after the program ends. In addition to the embedded advisor, the opportunity allows for periodic travel by other U.S. citizens to consult on specific elements of the program, which indicates the project may incorporate targeted short-term expertise (for example, specialized strategic communications, campaign planning, digital engagement, media relations, or evaluation methods) as needs are identified during implementation.
Funding is offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement, meaning the U.S. government expects to have substantial involvement in the project during execution, such as coordination on goals, oversight of key activities, and ongoing collaboration to ensure the program aligns with U.S. Embassy and Department of State objectives. The award ceiling is $300,000, and the opportunity anticipates a single award, making it a competitive, one-recipient program with a defined budget cap. The activity category is listed under Humanities (with reference to Cultural Affairs in CFDA), and the CFDA number is 19.900, reflecting State Department public diplomacy and related program authorities.
Eligible applicants include U.S. nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) as well as individuals, which is relatively uncommon for many federal opportunities and suggests the program is open both to organizational implementers and to highly qualified independent professionals capable of administering a compliant, government-funded project. The opportunity number is SUP30016CA0132. It was created on July 15, 2016, with an original closing date of August 15, 2016, indicating the solicitation was for a specific program cycle and timeline, with a planned performance period of one year.
