    The U.S. Department of State's Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the Civil Society Partnership Program aims to build organizational capacity among Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) in Papua New Guinea, specifically in the provinces of Hela and Morobe. The program encourages applicants to prioritize engagement with CSOs in these regions due to their significance in the U.S. strategy to prevent conflict and promote stability. Proposals may include distance learning solutions to address connectivity issues, and funding can be utilized by mature CSOs to support less developed counterparts. The program emphasizes both basic skills and sector-specific training for CSO leaders. There is no predetermined limit on the number of participants for U.S.-based leadership training, allowing applicants to tailor their programs as needed. SAM registration is not mandatory at the time of application but must be active when the award is made, with potential waivers available. Additionally, proposals should encompass all three program objectives, ensuring a comprehensive approach to capacity building among CSOs in the target provinces. This initiative represents a commitment to strengthening civil society to address local conflicts and enhance stability in the region.
