Opportunity Information: Apply for PAS PORTMORESBY 2019 002
The Young Pacific Leaders Conference 2019/2020 grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PAS PORTMORESBY 2019 002) was announced by the U.S. Embassy in Port Moresby as an open competition for organizations to design and deliver a comprehensive leadership program for emerging leaders from across the Pacific. The central purpose of the program was to build practical skills and deeper knowledge that would help young leaders contribute meaningfully to their countries and the wider region, particularly in areas tied to economic progress and civil development. The opportunity reflects the United States positioning itself as a Pacific nation with a long-standing interest in strengthening partnerships that support regional stability, security, and sustainable growth, and it emphasizes preparing future leaders to work together across borders on shared challenges.
This was a grant-funded program categorized under “Other” for its funding activity type, with CFDA number 19.040. The U.S. Mission to New Zealand is listed as the agency name associated with the opportunity, while the program description specifically highlights the role of the U.S. Embassy Port Moresby in issuing the competition and framing the program goals. The grant’s maximum funding level, or award ceiling, was set at $250,000, indicating support for a sizable, well-structured initiative rather than a small standalone event. While the listing notes “ExpectedAwards:” without a specified number, the overall framing suggests an intent to fund a strong proposal capable of convening and developing a cohort of young leaders while building lasting networks.
Eligible applicants included a range of education and nonprofit institutions, specifically public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations both with and without U.S. 501(c)(3) status (as long as they were not institutions of higher education in the nonprofit categories described). This broad eligibility suggests the program was designed to attract capable implementers with experience in training, convening, leadership development, regional engagement, and program administration, regardless of whether they were universities or nonprofit entities, and regardless of whether a nonprofit held formal U.S. tax-exempt status.
Key dates show the opportunity was created on August 14, 2019, with an original application closing deadline of September 13, 2019. In practical terms, that timeline indicates a relatively short application window and implies applicants needed to be prepared to propose a complete program model quickly, including how they would recruit or select participants, structure leadership and skills-building content, manage logistics, and create mechanisms for ongoing collaboration among participants after the conference or main program activities concluded. Overall, the opportunity centers on leadership capacity-building and relationship-building across Pacific nations, with the longer-term goal of strengthening regional cooperation and readiness to address future economic, governance, and security-related challenges together.Apply for PAS PORTMORESBY 2019 002
