Opportunity Information: Apply for PAS MBA APS FY22 01
The U.S. Embassy in Mbabane, through its Public Affairs Section (PAS) at the U.S. Department of State, is offering funding through its Public Diplomacy Small Grants Program under an Annual Program Statement (APS). This APS serves as the embassy's yearly notice describing what kinds of public diplomacy projects it wants to support, the main strategic themes and funding priorities it is focusing on, and the basic process applicants should follow when requesting support. The opportunity is discretionary and uses a grant instrument, with the funding activity category listed as "Other" and the CFDA number identified as 19.040.
This funding opportunity is specifically intended for projects that happen in Eswatini and are primarily focused on Eswatini. Eligibility is restricted to applicants who are Emaswati or who are currently residing in Eswatini, which means proposals must be locally grounded and led by individuals or institutions with a direct presence in the country. The embassy also notes that it welcomes applications from all sectors, signaling that proposals can come from a wide range of community, educational, civic, and institutional actors as long as they fit the public diplomacy purpose and align with the APS priorities.
Eligible applicant types include individuals, registered not-for-profit organizations (including think tanks and civil society or non-governmental organizations with relevant programming experience), non-profit or governmental educational institutions, and governmental institutions. Commercial or for-profit entities are explicitly not eligible, so the program is designed to fund public-interest efforts rather than business activities. The grant is administered by the U.S. Mission to Eswatini, and the posted award ceiling is $15,000, indicating that this is a small-grants program intended for targeted, achievable projects rather than large multi-year initiatives.
Key administrative details in the listing include the funding opportunity number PAS MBA APS FY22 01, an original closing date of August 15, 2022, and a creation date of March 1, 2022. While the listing does not specify the number of expected awards in the provided text, the overall structure suggests a competitive process where applicants submit proposals that are reviewed against the embassy's stated public diplomacy goals, thematic priorities, and application procedures described in the APS.Apply for PAS MBA APS FY22 01
