Opportunity Information: Apply for TRACK IIFY23 ARM 1
Track 2 Conflict Resolution and Peacebuilding Initiatives is a U.S. Department of State funding opportunity administered through the U.S. Embassy Yerevan Public Diplomacy Section (U.S. Mission to Armenia). It is set up as an open, competitive solicitation for organizations to propose and run civilian-focused, non-governmental (track 2) programs that help reduce tensions, rebuild trust, and support longer-term reconciliation in the South Caucasus. The central aim is to advance reconciliation between the people of Armenia and Azerbaijan, while also encouraging normalization of relations between Armenia and Turkiye, with an overarching goal of contributing to sustainable peace and stronger regional cooperation.
The opportunity supports practical, society-level initiatives that can complement official diplomatic efforts by creating channels for communication, collaboration, and confidence-building among individuals and institutions. The announcement highlights a wide range of potential program elements, including people-to-people engagement, exchanges and dialogue formats, applied research, education and training activities, public awareness efforts, and other confidence-building measures. In practice, this framing leaves room for proposals such as facilitated dialogues among civic leaders, youth or professional exchanges that build shared experience, joint trainings that improve conflict-sensitive communication, research that maps barriers to reconciliation and tests solutions, and outreach campaigns designed to counter misperceptions and reduce hostility.
Two separate projects are anticipated under this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), meaning the Embassy expects to fund two awards rather than a single large effort. The funding instrument types listed are cooperative agreements and grants, which generally indicates financial support for program implementation with the possibility of closer coordination with the funding agency in the case of cooperative agreements. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is up to $350,000, and the expected number of awards is 2, suggesting that selected projects may be funded at a meaningful scale but still within a size that is typical for multi-activity public diplomacy and peacebuilding programs.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding under the Department of State, with CFDA numbers 19.040 and 19.900. The eligible applicant category is listed as "Others" with additional eligibility details referenced in the full NOFO, which usually means applicants must consult the official attached guidance to confirm which organization types qualify (for example, NGOs, educational institutions, or other non-profit or non-governmental entities, depending on the NOFO language). The opportunity was created on June 1, 2023, with an original application deadline of July 5, 2023.
Overall, the grant is designed to fund programs that can demonstrate a credible path toward reducing conflict drivers and strengthening interpersonal and institutional ties across divides, using dialogue, exchange, education, and confidence-building as tools. The full NOFO (referenced as attached) is where applicants would find the specific project tracks, required components, allowable costs, monitoring and evaluation expectations, partnership guidance, and detailed application instructions.Apply for TRACK IIFY23 ARM 1
