Opportunity Information: Apply for AFLUA 20 01
The U.S. Embassy Angola PAS Annual Program Statement (Funding Opportunity Number AFLUA 20 01) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of State, U.S. Mission to Angola (CFDA 19.040). It supports locally led projects in Angola, with grants capped at $30,000 per award and an expectation of about 10 awards. The call was originally posted on April 23, 2020, with an original closing date of August 30, 2020. The program is aimed at strengthening ties and mutual understanding between Angola and the United States through practical, community-facing initiatives that reflect American culture and values or that help Angolan audiences better understand U.S. society.
Eligible applicants are local non-governmental organizations, think tanks, and academic institutions. A central requirement is that proposals show a clear connection to American culture and values, or demonstrate how the project will expand awareness and understanding of American society in Angola. Beyond that baseline, proposals are expected to align with at least one of four U.S. Embassy priority areas. The first priority focuses on encouraging participation in democratic processes, especially among youth and women. This includes civic education that helps citizens participate actively in governance, efforts to improve professional media coverage of elections and government, and programming that elevates the concerns and inclusion of minority and disadvantaged populations.
The second priority area targets economic growth, trade, and investment between the United States and Angola. Projects under this theme should reduce barriers to interaction and exchange and build sustainable networks locally, regionally, and internationally. The emphasis is on advancing job creation (again with particular attention to youth and women), improving quality of life, and promoting shared prosperity through stronger economic linkages and practical cooperation.
The third priority aims to reinforce mutual understanding between the United States and Angola by promoting accurate information about the U.S.-Angola partnership and building connections with Angolans at all levels of society. This can include initiatives that highlight and preserve both Angolan and American cultural heritage, as well as efforts to broaden English language proficiency through programs and resources designed to reach wider audiences. In practice, this priority supports public diplomacy activities that deepen people-to-people ties and improve the overall information environment around the bilateral relationship.
The fourth priority is about building communication capacity across Angolan institutions and civil society, including government entities, NGOs, and womens and professional associations. It encourages expanded outreach capabilities and more effective use of new media and social networking. It also supports traditional and modern media development activities such as investigative journalism training, business and elections reporting, blogging, and other digital communication approaches. A related goal is to develop and deepen Angolas creative and idea-forming sectors, including journalists, artists, broadcasters, and publishers, and to extend the reach of broadcasting media in ways that strengthen informed public engagement.
Examples of activities the Embassy typically funds include arts and culture programs, English language instruction and resources, entrepreneurship initiatives, media training projects, and new media concepts meant to reach broader or underserved audiences. The Embassy also commonly supports programs that empower women, proposals that enhance U.S.-Angola exchange programs, STEM education and engagement, and youth-focused projects. Youth activities can include community service efforts that practice democratic processes and promote volunteerism, as well as youth recreation, leadership development, and education programs that build skills and civic responsibility.
At the same time, the Embassy signals several categories of proposals that are not typically funded. Projects are unlikely to be competitive if they lack a credible plan for sustaining activities or monitoring and measuring results. The program generally does not support social welfare projects, requests to pay for completing activities already started with other funding, or proposals that appear partisan or that support a specific candidate or political party campaign. International travel is discouraged unless it is specifically justified as essential to the project. The program also does not support U.S. citizen exchange programs with foreign countries under this mechanism, and it typically avoids projects with substantial fees for radio or television broadcast time. Finally, proposals that are mainly designed to cover organizational salaries or that focus primarily on logistics-only spending (such as venue rental and refreshments) rather than substantive programming are not considered strong fits for this funding opportunity.Apply for AFLUA 20 01
