About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of State's Libya External Office is soliciting grant proposals through its Public Diplomacy Small Grants Program to advance Libyan-U.S. mutual interests. The program seeks projects that support three primary objectives: promoting economic opportunity and U.S. collaboration, showcasing U.S.-Libyan partnership and shared values, and supporting Libya's unity, stability, and security. Eligible applicants include non-profit organizations, educational institutions, individuals, and public international organizations, with all organizations required to have a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) and be registered in SAM.gov. Proposals will be evaluated based on program idea quality, organizational capacity, program planning, budget, monitoring and evaluation plan, and sustainability. The application deadline is August 15, 2025, with proposals to be submitted via email to LibyaUSAExchanges@state.gov.
The grant program will award between $25,000 and $100,000, with approximately five awards anticipated for fiscal year 2025. The planned program start date is October 1, 2025, with project completion expected within 12 months of award. Funding will be provided through FY25 Smith Mundt Public Diplomacy Funds, with projects to be implemented through the Tunis-based U.S. Libya External Office. While the specific location of performance is not explicitly detailed, the grants are designed to support diplomatic and development initiatives within Libya, focusing on strengthening bilateral relationships and supporting regional stability.
