Opportunity Information: Apply for PAS ALG FY24 02
The U.S. Embassy Algiers Public Affairs Section (PAS), part of the U.S. Department of State, is offering funding through its Public Diplomacy Small Grants Program under an Annual Program Statement. This opportunity supports projects designed to strengthen cultural ties between the United States and Algeria by using cultural and exchange-style programming that highlights shared values and encourages practical bilateral cooperation. A core requirement is that every proposed program includes a clear American cultural element or a concrete connection to the United States, such as participation by U.S. experts, partnerships with U.S. organizations, or collaboration with U.S. institutions in a relevant field. The intent is not only cultural engagement, but also deeper public understanding of U.S. policy and perspectives through credible people-to-people and institution-to-institution links.
The Embassy is looking for projects that fit within public diplomacy and cultural exchange formats. Illustrative activities include academic or professional lectures and speaker series, seminars and workshops, artistic collaborations like joint performances or exhibitions, cultural heritage preservation and conservation initiatives, professional or academic exchanges, and English language-related programming. While these examples are not exhaustive, they signal the type of engagement PAS is aiming to fund: programs that bring Algerian audiences into meaningful contact with American ideas, experience, expertise, and cultural expression, with outcomes that last beyond a single event.
Three priority program areas guide funding decisions. The first is English language and research/education exchanges, with an emphasis on building English capacity and expanding education or research exchange opportunities in public and private institutions. These proposals should connect language or exchange work to broader understanding of U.S. culture, values, history, society, and policies. The second priority is countering misinformation and disinformation, supporting programs that help audiences recognize how false narratives spread and that build the capacity of media, citizens, and civil society to strengthen democratic processes and active civic engagement. Programs in this area are expected to improve practical skills and awareness, and can also help connect people to reliable government resources and services. The third priority is entrepreneurship, focusing on strengthening the entrepreneurship ecosystem in Algeria, especially by increasing opportunities for minority groups and supporting women’s participation in the workforce.
PAS identifies several priority audiences it particularly wants to reach. One major target group is Algerian youth ages 12 to 30, with special attention to youth from minority communities or underserved areas. Another priority audience includes press and media, spanning traditional public and private outlets as well as influencers and bloggers. A third audience category is creators, such as artists and entrepreneurs, generally ages 25 to 45, again emphasizing minority or underserved groups and those whose work contributes to civil society or climate-friendly and sustainable projects. Proposals that clearly identify one or more of these audiences, explain how they will be recruited and engaged, and show why the approach fits local realities will align more closely with the Embassy’s stated goals.
The program also draws firm boundaries around what it will not support. Ineligible activities include partisan political programming, charitable or development aid, construction, programs that advance specific religious activities, fundraising campaigns, lobbying for particular legislation or government programs, and scientific research. It also excludes projects primarily intended to grow the applicant organization itself (rather than deliver public-facing programming) and projects that duplicate existing efforts. In practice, competitive proposals should be designed as distinct public diplomacy initiatives with clear public benefit, measurable outcomes, and a strong rationale for why U.S. involvement adds value.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Mission to Algeria, authorized under Smith-Mundt public diplomacy funding for FY2024. The opportunity number is PAS ALG FY24 02, and it is listed under CFDA 19.040. The funding instrument is a grant, with an award ceiling of up to $100,000.
