Opportunity Information: Apply for SCAISB 19 AW 015 04112019
The grant opportunity titled "Community Engagement Office - Tech Camps for Peace" is a U.S. Department of State public diplomacy funding announcement run through the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad, specifically the Community Engagement Office (CEO) within the Public Affairs Section (PAS). It is offered under the Public Diplomacy Grants Program and is designed to support efforts in Pakistan that reduce violent extremism over the long term. The underlying idea is capacity building: strengthening local institutions, organizations, and communities so they can sustain their own interventions and contribute to a more peaceful, stable, and prosperous Pakistan.
At the center of the opportunity is a series of "Tech Camps," which are a structured program model hosted by the Department of State's Bureau of International Information Programs (IIP) and must follow IIP guidelines. These Tech Camps are not traditional lectures or conferences. They are hands-on, participant-driven workshops that bring together private sector technology experts and relevant local actors to work through real-world problems and develop practical, tech-enabled solutions. The camps emphasize tangible outcomes, with participants expected to identify challenges they face in their work and then collaborate directly with trainers and subject matter experts to apply tools, platforms, and strategies that can address those challenges.
This particular award focuses on providing logistical support for up to four Tech Camps, each lasting three days. The intended participants include civil society actors and other public influencers, and the training emphasis is on improving digital media skills and strategies while expanding organizational capabilities. In practice, that means helping participants communicate more effectively online, use digital tools more strategically, and strengthen their ability to design and implement initiatives related to preventing and countering violent extremism (often abbreviated as P/CVE). Beyond the workshops themselves, the program model also requires post-camp follow-through: ongoing, impact-oriented efforts that help participants implement projects after the training, remain connected to each other, and continue engaging with trainers and PAS staff in Pakistan.
The funding instrument types listed are cooperative agreements and grants, and the opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding. The award ceiling is $200,000, with the expectation of making one award. The funding opportunity number is SCAISB 19 AW 015 04112019, and it is associated with CFDA number 19.501. The agency is the Department of State, Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs. The notice was created on April 11, 2019, with an original closing date of June 10, 2019. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement rather than spelled out in the excerpt.
A notable structural feature of this opportunity is that the CEO and IIP retain responsibility for identifying the participants, experts, and content for the Tech Camps. In other words, the implementing partner supported by this award is primarily expected to enable and deliver the camps successfully from an operational standpoint, while the Embassy and IIP shape the participant selection and substantive program content. The overall deliverable is a set of well-run, results-oriented Tech Camps that not only train participants during the three-day sessions but also support continued collaboration and real-world project implementation afterward, building a lasting network of practice around technology-enabled P/CVE efforts in Pakistan.Apply for SCAISB 19 AW 015 04112019
