Opportunity Information: Apply for DOS PD PAP GG 19

The "U.S. Embassy Haiti PAS Annual Program Statement" is a U.S. Department of State grant opportunity run through the U.S. Mission to Haiti (Public Affairs Section). It was published on February 14, 2019, under funding opportunity number DOS PD PAP GG 19, and it supports projects in Haiti that advance public diplomacy goals and strengthen democratic, civic, and community institutions. The program is structured as a grant (not a contract), meaning applicants propose a project concept and, if selected, receive financial assistance to carry it out rather than being paid to deliver a pre-defined government procurement requirement.

The embassy’s priority program areas focus heavily on democracy and governance outcomes, especially activities that increase political awareness and participation among the public and youth. This includes practical efforts that help people understand how democratic systems work and how to participate responsibly, such as voter education, community dialogues, civic leadership initiatives, and programs that encourage volunteerism and community service. A major emphasis is on youth civic education and engagement, reflecting a goal of building long-term civic capacity by helping young people develop skills, habits, and confidence to take part in democratic processes and community problem-solving.

Several of the listed priorities align with accountability and institutions, including combatting corruption and promoting rule of law and effective administration of justice. Projects in these areas could involve public awareness campaigns, civil society monitoring, integrity and transparency initiatives, or educational efforts that help communities understand legal rights and the justice system. The program also highlights support for press freedom and independent media, with an emphasis on professionalism in journalism and media practice. That can include training, workshops, or initiatives that strengthen ethical reporting, improve information quality, and support a media environment where independent outlets and journalists can operate more effectively.

The opportunity also calls out empowerment of women and youth, suggesting interest in projects that expand leadership, participation, and opportunity for groups that may face barriers to full involvement in civic or economic life. In addition, it supports entrepreneurship and business development, pointing to programs that encourage economic initiative, skills-building, and opportunities that can contribute to local resilience and growth. Human rights is another stated priority, including attention to trafficking in persons, which may involve prevention, awareness, survivor support referrals, or community-based strategies that reduce vulnerability and strengthen protective networks.

A distinctive public diplomacy element is the priority area described as "Telling America’s story in Haiti." This generally refers to programs that build mutual understanding and communicate U.S. culture, values, policies, and partnerships in ways that are relevant to Haitian audiences. Depending on the approach, this might include exchanges, speaker events, cultural and educational programming, or communication initiatives that highlight U.S.-Haiti cooperation and shared interests.

From a funding standpoint, the opportunity lists an award ceiling of $50,000 per award and an expectation of about 20 awards, indicating relatively small grants intended to support multiple organizations and a variety of project concepts rather than a single large initiative. The opportunity category is listed as "Other," and the funding activity category is also "Other," meaning the specific project types can vary as long as they clearly align with the embassy’s stated priorities. The CFDA number associated with this opportunity is 19.040, which corresponds to public diplomacy-related assistance.

Eligibility is described broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced in the full notice (not included in the excerpt). In practice for embassy public affairs grants, this often means a range of applicants may be considered, such as local civil society organizations, NGOs, educational or cultural institutions, community groups, and similar entities, provided they can meet U.S. government grant compliance requirements and demonstrate the capacity to manage funds and deliver results.

Key administrative details included in the notice are the original closing date of July 19, 2019, and the issuing agency as the Department of State, U.S. Mission to Haiti. Overall, the grant opportunity is designed to fund practical, community-facing projects that strengthen democratic participation, accountability, rights, media independence, inclusive empowerment, and economic initiative, while also supporting public diplomacy goals that improve understanding of the United States in Haiti.
