Opportunity Information: Apply for DOS UG PAS FY20 1
The Mitigating Violent Extremism in Masaka Region opportunity is a U.S. Department of State (U.S. Mission to Uganda, Embassy Kampala) Public Affairs Section grant competition focused on preventing violent extremism (PVE) in the greater Masaka region of Uganda. The program is designed for work in key urban centers and surrounding connected areas, specifically including strategic locations within Masaka District and, as needed, neighboring Kalungu and Mpigi Districts. The core idea is to strengthen community resilience to extremist influence by improving collaboration, trust, and coordinated action among community leaders, at-risk citizens, and civilian government actors, including law enforcement.
The overall goal is to increase practical collaboration between key societal leaders and government counterparts in order to reduce extremist recruitment and radicalization in the priority areas. Rather than treating violent extremism as only a security issue, the opportunity frames it as a community resilience challenge that requires relationships, shared understanding, and credible local influencers working alongside government institutions. The program expects one award to be made, with funding up to $250,000, and it is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the U.S. Embassy will likely have an active role in guiding or coordinating certain aspects of implementation.
Applicants are expected to design proposals around three main objectives. First, the project should expand research and knowledge about violent extremism dynamics in the target area, with emphasis on hyper-local recruitment and radicalization processes. Second, it should build the capacity of key societal and government influencers to promote peaceful coexistence and mitigate violent extremism. Third, it should enhance trust and collaboration with civilian government institutions so communities and authorities can work together more effectively to prevent radicalization and recruitment.
A notable feature is the required Phase 1 research component. The research is intended to dig into how violent extremist dynamics and community resiliencies differ across men, women, boys, and girls, and it calls for engaging a cross-section of relevant local voices such as students, traders and market sellers, mothers and fathers, community leaders, government officers, and religious and cultural leaders and followers. The guidance also makes clear what the research should not be: it should not rely on broad public opinion polling or treat the entire region as a single undifferentiated "vulnerable population." Instead, the expectation is for targeted, locally appropriate research tools that uncover how recruitment and radicalization may actually occur in specific neighborhoods, networks, or social settings, and then use those findings to shape the project strategy in later phases.
The intended participants and beneficiaries include both community members and the leaders who directly influence or interact with people who are being targeted by violent extremist activity. The opportunity specifically highlights district and sub-district officials (including, but not limited to, law enforcement), district-level religious leaders, cultural leaders, and civil society and youth leaders. In practice, this points to interventions that strengthen the credibility, coordination, and problem-solving capacity of the people most likely to notice early signs of recruitment, counter harmful narratives, connect individuals to support systems, and rebuild confidence between communities and government services.
