Two-round process:
In Round 1, applicants submit a concise Statement of Interest (SOI) of no more than 1,500 words that describes the project idea and its objectives.
The Public Diplomacy Section will review SOIs and invite a limited group of applicants to continue in Round 2. In Round 2, applicants expand their ideas into full funding proposals for formal consideration.

The Public Diplomacy Section invites proposals from non-profit and non-governmental organizations for projects that support core U. S. government priorities in Zambia, including promoting democracy and good governance, building inclusive economic prosperity, strengthening health and education systems, and advancing peace and security.
All programs must include an American cultural element, or connection with American expert/s, organization/s, or institution/s in a specific field that will promote increased understanding of U. S. policy and perspectives.
Successful proposals will clearly define the anticipated results of the program, when results will be expected, and how the U. S. Embassy can measure the anticipated results.
Successful grantees will proactively show progress towards results through regular reporting to the U. S. Embassy.
U. S. Embassy officials will visit project activities regularly to monitor progress.
