N.B.
Please read the full announcement before applying.
Applications MUST be emailed to capetowngrants@state.gov.
The Public Affairs Section of the U. S. Consulate General in Cape Town (PAS Cape Town) announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications to support program management, staffing and operations for the American Spaces program in the Cape provinces.
Proposals are requested from organizations that have the necessary capacity, experience, and knowledge to support the implementation of this program.
Through strategic outreach, innovative programming, and productive alliances, the U. S. Mission to South Africa’s American Spaces program engages youth, organizations, and key influencers on thematic topics that are interesting and relevant, and that support the audience’s ability to think critically, promote U. S. and South African linkages, and take action to advance health, security, governance, and prosperity in South Africa.
The selected partner organization must be able to collaborate with stakeholders and coordinate activities that are already defined (and which will be discussed in detail with the selected applicant), as well as add value through the inclusion of additional concepts, audiences, and participants.
Administrative and financial management capabilities will be critical components of a successful proposal.
PAS Cape Town’s American Spaces program is anchored by the American Corner in Cape Town (ACCT).
Embedded in the City of Cape Town’s Central Library, which is in the city’s central business district, this urban location presents various opportunities for engagement with post-secondary school youth, educational institutions, media, civil society organizations, industry, and government.
Programming at this site is dynamic and multi-faceted and supports public diplomacy goals with broad engagement of diverse audiences on a variety of themes.
In addition, the Cape Town American Spaces program hosts a growing number of virtual events and nationwide programs.
