Opportunity Information: Apply for PAS DHAKA FY2020 01
The Annual Program Statement for Public Affairs Dhaka (PAS DHAKA FY2020 01) is a discretionary U.S. Department of State grant opportunity run through the U.S. Embassy in Dhaka, aimed at supporting public diplomacy programs that deepen and showcase the relationship between the United States and Bangladesh. The central purpose is to strengthen and expand people-to-people ties, institutional partnerships, and broader bilateral cooperation in the lead-up to a milestone moment: the 50th anniversary of U.S.-Bangladesh diplomatic relations in 2022, following Bangladesh's own 50th anniversary of independence in 2021. Through this APS, the Embassy is looking for projects that both celebrate the history of the partnership and renew commitments to shared prosperity, peace, and cooperation across sectors like education, health, development, trade, energy, and security, aligned with a shared vision for a free and open Indo-Pacific.
The program is intentionally broad in the types of activities it will support, as long as proposals clearly advance the Embassy's public diplomacy goals. Suggested project formats include academic and professional lectures, seminars, and speaker series; artistic, cultural, and sports-focused workshops and events such as joint performances, exhibitions, festivals, culinary diplomacy activities, creative writing programs, comedy initiatives, clinics, and master classes; cultural heritage conservation and preservation efforts; and professional or academic exchanges, including virtual exchanges that connect Bangladeshi participants with U.S. experts, institutions, or communities. The APS also highlights workforce and institutional capacity building through professional development workshops and trainings, signaling interest in practical, skills-based programming that creates lasting connections beyond a single event.
Because the opportunity was released during the COVID-19 period, the Embassy strongly encourages applicants to design projects with virtual or hybrid alternatives so programming can continue if in-person events or international travel are disrupted. This emphasis suggests proposals may be more competitive when they show clear contingency planning, flexible delivery methods, and realistic implementation approaches that can function under changing public health constraints while still meeting engagement and impact goals.
Eligibility is limited to non-commercial organizations. The Embassy invites proposals from both U.S. and Bangladeshi not-for-profits, NGOs, think tanks, educational institutions, government institutions, and international organizations. For-profit or commercial entities are explicitly not eligible to apply. The award instrument is a grant, with an award ceiling of $100,000. The opportunity is associated with CFDA/Assistance Listing 19.040, and it was originally posted on 2020-07-21 with an original closing date of 2020-08-22. Overall, the APS is best understood as a flexible public diplomacy funding call designed to generate high-visibility, high-impact engagement that celebrates the bilateral relationship while building durable professional, cultural, and institutional links between Americans and Bangladeshis.Apply for PAS DHAKA FY2020 01
