Opportunity Information: Apply for TASHKENT PAS FY21 01
The Democracy Commission Small Grants Program is a competitive grant opportunity run by the U.S. Embassy in Tashkent through its Public Affairs Section (PAS), under the U.S. Department of State. The program is designed to support the development of democratic institutions and a stronger civil society in Uzbekistan by providing small grants to local organizations working on key democracy and governance-related issues. In practical terms, it is meant to help Uzbek civil society groups and independent media strengthen their ability to serve the public, engage citizens, and contribute to reforms that improve transparency, accountability, and the rule of law.
Funding is offered as a discretionary grant under Funding Opportunity Number TASHKENT PAS FY21 01 (CFDA 19.900). The maximum award amount listed for a single project is up to $50,000. The opportunity was created on February 18, 2021, with an original application deadline of May 31, 2021. While the announcement references expected awards, the number is not specified in the provided source text, suggesting applicants should consult the formal Notice of Funding Opportunity for details on anticipated funding levels, selection criteria, and administrative requirements.
Projects must align with one of three priority themes. The first theme focuses on strengthening civil society while promoting human rights and the rule of law, which can include activities that improve legal awareness, civic engagement, advocacy capacity, or mechanisms for citizen oversight. The second theme targets entrepreneurship and economic empowerment, reflecting an interest in programs that help communities build economic resilience and expand opportunity, often as a foundation for broader social participation and stability. The third theme supports strengthening independent media, which may involve initiatives that enhance journalistic capacity, encourage access to credible information, improve media sustainability, or promote professional standards and public trust in reporting.
The overall goals emphasize building the capacity of civil society organizations in Uzbekistan to respond to urgent social needs and increasing citizen participation in governance. A central idea in the program description is supporting effective implementation of reforms and laws related to civil society, government transparency, and citizen oversight. In other words, proposals are expected not only to address community issues directly, but also to help people participate in public life more effectively and to strengthen systems that make public institutions more open and accountable.
Eligibility is limited to Uzbekistan-based organizations. Specifically, the opportunity is open to not-for-profit organizations, civil society or non-governmental organizations (including associations), and independent local media organizations operating in Uzbekistan. Applicants are encouraged to develop proposals that clearly fit PAS goals, the listed priority program areas, and the target audiences described in the attached Notice of Funding Opportunity, since those elements typically guide how proposals are evaluated and selected for funding.Apply for TASHKENT PAS FY21 01
