The Political and Economic Section of the U.S. Embassy in Yaound, Cameroon announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications under the FY2023 Africa Regional Democracy Fund program. Proposals should address projects that will either: (i) advance human rights and fundamental freedoms by supporting local organizations efforts to promote human rights systems, policies, and protection, or (ii) provide assistance that enables citizens to select and replace their leaders through periodic, inclusive, accountable, and free and fair elections. Note: The U.S. Embassy expects to receive funding for the ARDF program before September 30, 2024. Grant awards are contingent on the receipt of funding. If the program is not approved, no grants will be awarded under this call.
