Opportunity Information: Apply for PAS CMR FY20 03
The Yaounde AEIF 2020 Competition (Funding Opportunity Number: PAS CMR FY20 03) was a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of State through the U.S. Mission to Cameroon. It invited eligible individuals in Cameroon who are alumni of U.S. government-funded or U.S. government-sponsored exchange programs to propose projects under the 2020 Alumni Engagement Innovation Fund (AEIF 2020). The purpose of the fund was to support alumni-led initiatives that translate exchange experience into practical, community-focused projects, with emphasis areas that could include arts and cultural affairs, community development, education, and health (CFDA 19.025).
The application followed a two-step process. In the first step, interested exchange program alumni were required to submit a proposal directly to the U.S. Embassy in Cameroon via email at pasgrantsyaounde@state.gov. The deadline for initial proposals was midnight local time in Cameroon (WAT) on Friday, February 25, 2020. After receiving and reviewing submissions, the Embassy would select the strongest and most competitive proposals. Those selected would then move to the second step, which involved applying for further review by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) at the U.S. Department of State in Washington, DC. In other words, the Embassy served as the initial screening and nomination point, and the final review stage happened at State Department headquarters.
In terms of funding, the award ceiling listed for individual grants was $25,000, and the opportunity anticipated up to 25 awards in total. The opportunity was created on January 22, 2020, and it was structured as a grant (Funding Instrument Type: Grant). Eligibility was limited to individuals, specifically exchange alumni, rather than organizations broadly. Overall, the competition was designed to leverage the skills, networks, and leadership of U.S. exchange alumni to implement innovative projects that address local needs and strengthen community impact in Cameroon while aligning with public diplomacy and development-related priorities.Apply for PAS CMR FY20 03
