The U.S. Embassy Managua announces the Public Diplomacy Annual Program Statement (PDS-MGA-APS-FY25-01), inviting organizations and individuals to submit Statements of Interest (SOI) for projects that advance U.S. public diplomacy goals in Nicaragua. Applications are due by May 15, 2025, with funding amounts ranging from $20,000-$80,000 for organizations and $20,000-$50,000 for individuals, contingent on funding availability. Selected applicants will refine their SOIs into full proposals after an initial merit review.
Priority project objectives include promoting information integrity, fostering economic prosperity, and encouraging safe migration. Eligible applicants include non-profits and individuals; however, for-profit entities are excluded. Key evaluation criteria focus on alignment with U.S. priorities, clarity of objectives, audience targeting, and feasibility.
Applicants must possess a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) and comply with SAM.gov registration, with detailed budgeting requirements outlined for funding justification. The document underscores the importance of ethical implementation, nondiscrimination, and post-award responsibilities. Emphasizing engagement with underrepresented populations, the program aims to strengthen U.S.-Nicaragua relations and cultural understanding through targeted initiatives.
