Opportunity Information: Apply for DAR0001DEMOCRATICGOVERNANCE
The U.S. Department of State, through the U.S. Embassy in Dar es Salaam (U.S. Mission to Tanzania), is running an open, discretionary funding competition called "Emerging Generation of Leaders in Democratic Governance" (Funding Opportunity Number: DAR0001DEMOCRATICGOVERNANCE). The program is designed to fund a project that supports the broader goal of strengthening democratic governance. The award will be made as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the U.S. government expects to be more actively involved in the project than it would be under a standard grant, including coordination or ongoing input during implementation.
This opportunity is open to a wide range of applicants, including U.S.-based nonprofits that qualify under section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. tax code (such as think tanks and civil society/non-governmental organizations), foreign-based nonprofit organizations and NGOs, public and private educational institutions, public international organizations, and governmental institutions. The funding is listed under CFDA/Assistance Listing 19.989, and the activity category is noted as "Other," reflecting a governance-focused program that may combine leadership development, civic engagement, institutional strengthening, or related democracy-support initiatives depending on the applicant's proposed design.
The Embassy anticipates making one award, with a maximum (ceiling) amount of up to $986,500. Key dates provided in the notice include a creation/posting date of June 11, 2024, and an original application closing date of July 11, 2024. Application materials and required federal forms are available through Grants.gov, including the SF-424 Mandatory Family forms repository, and additional announcement details are also available through the U.S. Embassy Dar es Salaam website under the opportunity title. Applicants who need reasonable accommodations due to a disability or for security-related reasons are directed to contact the Embassy point of contact listed in Section G of the full announcement; however, the notice explicitly states that accommodations do not include extensions to the submission deadline.
Overall, this is a single-award, competitive cooperative agreement opportunity aimed at developing or supporting an emerging cohort or pipeline of leaders in democratic governance, with applicants expected to propose a clear project approach aligned with strengthening democratic systems and practices, and to follow the application instructions and forms referenced on Grants.gov and the Embassy website.Apply for DAR0001DEMOCRATICGOVERNANCE
