Opportunity Information: Apply for DOS LIBREVILLE PDS APS FY25 01
The U.S. Embassy Libreville Public Diplomacy Section (PDS) Annual Program Statement (Funding Opportunity Number: DOS LIBREVILLE PDS APS FY25 01) is a discretionary grant opportunity designed to fund small, public-facing programs that strengthen ties between the United States and Gabon. The core purpose is to support projects that highlight shared values, build bilateral cooperation, and clearly connect to U.S. foreign policy objectives. The embassy is looking for proposals that help advance its broader goals of making the United States safer, stronger, and more prosperous, while also showcasing U.S. excellence in areas such as culture, education, entrepreneurship, and emerging technologies. The opportunity explicitly welcomes projects that emphasize American excellence and align with an “America First” framing.
The program is structured around practical public diplomacy activities, with examples including English language promotion; business and entrepreneurship initiatives; academic and professional lectures, seminars, and speaker events; professional and academic exchanges; artistic and cultural workshops, joint performances, and exhibitions; and cultural heritage conservation or preservation efforts. In other words, proposals should generally be outward-facing and engagement-driven, centered on people-to-people connections and public outreach rather than internal organizational growth or purely technical work.
PDS Libreville identifies several priority program areas that applicants should target. These include promoting a more attractive business and investment environment in Gabon, supporting sustainable economic development, expanding English language training and resources, and deepening U.S.-Gabon ties through cultural preservation activities. A related emphasis is increasing local understanding of U.S. policy, culture, and values, so competitive proposals will typically include a strong public engagement component and a clear rationale for how the activity improves mutual understanding or cooperation.
The intended participants and audiences are primarily youth, especially emerging leaders, as well as opinion leaders such as cultural figures, academics, and media professionals. Projects that can credibly reach these groups, demonstrate meaningful engagement, and show a pathway to longer-term impact (even after the grant ends) will fit the stated intent of the opportunity.
Several categories of activities are explicitly ineligible, which is important for proposal design. The embassy will not fund partisan political activity, charitable or general development assistance, construction, programs supporting specific religious activities, fundraising campaigns, lobbying for particular legislation or programs, or scientific research. It also excludes projects aimed mainly at growing an organization’s capacity or institutional development, and proposals that duplicate existing programs. In practice, this means applicants should avoid framing the work as humanitarian aid, infrastructure development, religious programming, political campaigning, or research-driven initiatives, and should instead focus on exchange, education, cultural programming, and policy-relevant public engagement.
Eligibility is limited to non-profit organizations (including think tanks and civil society/NGOs), public and private educational institutions, individuals, public international organizations, and governmental institutions. For-profit entities are not eligible to apply. A key compliance requirement is that applicant organizations must have a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) and an active registration in SAM.gov; individuals are exempt from the UEI and SAM.gov registration requirement.
Operational details provided in the source information include an award ceiling of $15,000, with an expected seven awards.
