Opportunity Information: Apply for DOS NGA PD ABV FY23 001
The U.S. Embassy Abuja Public Diplomacy Section (PDS) Annual Program Statement announces the availability of funding through its Public Diplomacy Small Grants Program. The overall goal is to support projects that strengthen relationships between the United States and Nigeria by using cultural, informational, and exchange-based programming that reflects shared values and encourages practical cooperation. A key requirement is that every proposed project must include a clear American cultural component or a direct connection to U.S. experts, U.S. organizations, or U.S. institutions in a relevant field, and that connection should be used to increase understanding of U.S. policies and perspectives.
The opportunity supports a wide range of public diplomacy activities. Examples listed include academic and professional lectures and seminars, exchanges and speaker programs, artistic and cultural workshops and collaborations (including joint performances, exhibitions, and media events), cultural heritage conservation and preservation efforts, training and empowerment programs, leadership initiatives (including youth and sports programming), activities that promote democratic values such as press freedom, and programs that contribute to peace, security, and national unity. In practice, this means proposals can be educational, cultural, skills-focused, or civic-oriented, as long as they fit the embassy priorities and maintain a meaningful U.S. linkage.
The embassy highlights several priority program areas that will receive stronger consideration. One major priority is promoting democracy, good governance, and human rights. Within that theme, the embassy is looking for proposals that encourage civic engagement at state and local levels, support youth activism, and advance diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, particularly for marginalized groups. Another major priority is strengthening human capital in ways that support inclusive economic growth and development. This includes programs centered on women’s empowerment; digital skills and green entrepreneurship; mentorship and employability initiatives that build professional literacy; climate change community service and public awareness campaigns; leadership and peacebuilding through sports; and efforts to improve and expand English language learning, including curriculum development and teacher training.
A third priority area focuses on Nigeria’s cultural heritage. The embassy is interested in projects that help preserve, restore, and protect cultural heritage sites, objects, and traditions. Suggested approaches include training and capacity-building for local heritage professionals, educational and cultural exchanges for curators and art conservators, and public awareness campaigns that increase understanding and protection of cultural heritage. This signals that proposals can be both technical (skills and conservation practice) and public-facing (education and awareness), as long as they align with preservation outcomes.
The program also encourages applicants to connect projects to specific dates on the U.S. Mission’s programming calendar, using those moments to highlight shared themes and increase visibility and engagement. The listed dates include Nelson Mandela Day (July 18), World Day Against Trafficking in Persons (July 30), International Youth Day (August 12), International Day of Democracy (September 15), International Religious Freedom Day (October 27), Global Entrepreneurship Week (around November 21), International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women (November 27), International Day of Persons with Disabilities (December 3), International Human Rights Day (December 10), Martin Luther King Day (January 15), Black History Month (February), Women’s History Month (March), Earth Day (April 22), World Press Freedom Day (May 3), and World Environment Day (June 5). Proposals that naturally fit one or more of these dates may be especially timely and aligned with mission planning.
