Opportunity Information: Apply for PDS CONAKRY FY2024 02
U.S. Embassy Conakry Tech Camp 2024 is a U.S. Mission to Guinea grant opportunity designed to support a TechCamp focused on strengthening democratic values and improving livelihoods in Guinea by building stronger media and information ecosystems. The central idea is to equip media professionals and influencers with practical, advanced skills in media literacy so they can more effectively identify, analyze, and counter misinformation and disinformation. The program emphasizes critical thinking and fact-checking as core competencies, with the broader goal of protecting journalistic integrity and encouraging a more informed public conversation.
The TechCamp model described in the announcement is hands-on and workshop-based, bringing together participants and a roster of American and international experts who serve as trainers. These trainers can come from several backgrounds, including journalists who cover breaking news, content creators who influence narratives online, NGO leaders who run large-scale programs and communications efforts, spokespeople experienced in public messaging, and practitioners working with emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence. A key feature of the approach is two-way learning: trainers share accessible tools, methods, and technology that participants can apply to real-world challenges, while also learning directly from participants about local dynamics and information-related issues in Guinea. This structure is intended to help participants translate training into practical changes within their communities and professional networks.
The funding is offered as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement, which typically means the funder expects to remain meaningfully involved during implementation compared to a standard grant. The opportunity is listed under the education activity category and uses CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number 19.022. The embassy expects to make one award, with a maximum (ceiling) amount of $110,000 for the selected project.
Eligibility is limited primarily to designated not-for-profit organizations, including think tanks and civil society or non-governmental organizations. Cost sharing or matching funds are not required, which can reduce barriers for organizations that do not have large unrestricted budgets. To receive an award, organizations must have a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) and maintain an active registration in SAM.gov, both standard requirements for many U.S. government funding opportunities. The notice also clarifies that individuals are not required to have a UEI or SAM registration, although the eligible applicant types specified emphasize organizational applicants rather than individuals as lead recipients.
Applications are submitted through standard U.S. government grant processes and forms available via Grants.gov. The announcement is strict about formatting and compliance, indicating that proposals that do not meet the stated requirements can be deemed ineligible. Submissions must be in English, with budgets presented in U.S. dollars. Pages should be numbered, documents should be set to A4 paper size, and Microsoft Word files must be single-spaced in 12-point Calibri with at least 1-inch margins. The proposal itself should clearly and directly address how the project will meet the goals and objectives of the TechCamp, particularly around media literacy, critical thinking, and countering false or misleading information.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number (PDS CONAKRY FY2024 02), the original closing date (April 15, 2024), and the posting timeline (created March 12, 2024). Overall, the opportunity is aimed at funding one strong implementing partner that can organize and deliver an expert-led, interactive training program that strengthens local capacity to detect and respond to misinformation and disinformation, while supporting healthier democratic discourse in Guinea.Apply for PDS CONAKRY FY2024 02
