Opportunity Information: Apply for DOS PAS MOG FY23 01
The U.S. Embassy Mogadishu Public Diplomacy Annual Program Statement (Funding Opportunity Number: DOS PAS MOG FY23 01) is a discretionary grant competition run by the Department of State, U.S. Mission to Somalia, through the Embassy Mogadishu Public Diplomacy Section (PDS). It falls under CFDA 19.040 and is offered under the Public Diplomacy Small Grants Program, with awards dependent on funding availability. The overall purpose is to support projects that build and deepen cultural, academic, and professional connections between the United States and Somalia, using practical programming and exchanges to highlight shared values and encourage constructive bilateral cooperation.
A central requirement is that every proposed project must include a clear American element. In practice, that means proposals should integrate U.S. culture and/or establish direct connections with American experts, organizations, or institutions. The embassy is looking for programs that do more than simply mention the United States; they should create real interaction or engagement that helps participants better understand U.S. policy and perspectives, while also strengthening mutual understanding between Somali and American communities. The opportunity points applicants to the Embassy website (https://so.usembassy.gov/) as a resource for context on the Public Diplomacy Section and its broader work.
Eligibility is relatively broad but still bounded by legal and technical requirements. Applicants can be legally recognized non-profit or non-governmental organizations, as well as individuals, as long as they meet both U.S. and Somali requirements to carry out the activities described in the program guidance (referenced as Section C in the announcement). This framing suggests the embassy is open to working with a range of local implementers and partners, provided they can demonstrate compliance, capacity, and a credible plan to deliver the proposed activities.
The funding levels are designed for small, focused projects. Proposals must request at least $5,000, with an average award size of around $10,000. The award ceiling is $20,000, and the embassy anticipated making about four awards under this announcement. Projects can last up to one year, which fits initiatives such as short exchange-style programs, speaker events, workshops, trainings, cultural showcases, collaborative projects with U.S. counterparts, and other public engagement efforts that can be completed within a 12-month timeline.
Key dates included a creation date of March 13, 2023, and an original closing date of June 30, 2023. While those dates indicate the specific cycle described in the source text, the program statement itself reflects the embassy’s continuing interest in proposals that use public diplomacy tools to connect Somalis and Americans, foster professional and educational relationships, and communicate U.S. perspectives through credible people-to-people engagement and programming.Apply for DOS PAS MOG FY23 01
