The U. S. Embassy Yaoundé Public Affairs Section (PAS) announces the availability of funding through its Public Diplomacy Grants Program.
This is an annual request for Statements of Interest (SOI), outlining funding priorities, strategic
themes, and procedures for submitting requests for funding.

The submission of a SOI is the first step in a two-part process.

Upon review of eligible SOIs, PAS will invite selected applicants to expand their ideas into full proposal applications.
