Opportunity Information: Apply for DOS PD PAP DF 19
The U.S. Embassy Haiti Public Affairs Section (PAS) Election Outreach Program is a small grants opportunity run by the U.S. Department of State, U.S. Mission to Haiti, designed to support civic and electoral engagement initiatives in Haiti. The program focuses on strengthening political participation and democratic involvement, with specific attention to encouraging voter participation, supporting women in politics, increasing youth participation in elections, and improving the quality and reach of non-partisan voter information. Proposals are expected to translate these goals into practical outreach and education activities that help communities better understand democratic processes and make informed choices, while staying clearly non-partisan.
A defining requirement of this grant is that every project must include an American cultural element or a meaningful connection to the United States through American experts, U.S. organizations, or U.S. institutions in a relevant field linked to political participation. In practice, this can take the form of involving U.S.-based speakers or trainers, partnering with an American university or NGO, drawing on U.S. civic education models, hosting American cultural programming that supports democratic themes, or connecting Haitian participants with U.S. expertise on elections, civic engagement, media literacy, anti-corruption, or rule of law. The intent is not simply to add a symbolic U.S. component, but to create a substantive exchange or collaboration that strengthens the project content and impact.
The types of activities encouraged under this opportunity are broad, as long as they support the overall objectives of democratic participation and election-related public education. Examples listed in the announcement include academic and professional lectures, seminars, and speaker programs; artistic and cultural workshops, including joint performances and exhibitions; and initiatives that promote political awareness and participation among the general public and especially youth. The opportunity also highlights civic education programs that build youth engagement in democratic processes, volunteerism, and community service, suggesting an interest in projects that develop long-term civic habits rather than one-time campaign-style outreach. Additional priority themes include combating corruption and promoting rule of law and effective justice administration, as these areas are closely tied to public trust in democratic institutions and the credibility of elections.
The program explicitly supports efforts that improve the election information environment, including voter education campaigns, the development of non-partisan voter guides, election reporting initiatives, and fact-checking efforts. These activities are meant to help voters access accurate, balanced information and reduce confusion or misinformation, while reinforcing the importance of impartiality and credible sources. It also emphasizes empowerment of women and youth, signaling that proposals which remove barriers to participation, build leadership skills, or create pathways for underrepresented groups to engage in civic and political life are strongly aligned with the program purpose.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a grant funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: DOS PD PAP DF 19) categorized under CFDA 19.040 and managed by the Department of State. The award ceiling is $25,000 per grant, with an expectation of around five awards, indicating a competitive small-grants program geared toward targeted, feasible projects with clear outcomes. The opportunity was originally posted on February 11, 2019, with an original closing date of April 1, 2019. While the eligibility field is listed as "Others" with further clarification referenced, the overall structure suggests PAS is seeking implementers capable of delivering community-facing civic programs and managing a U.S. government grant responsibly, typically including civil society organizations, community groups, educational institutions, or media-focused organizations depending on the specific project design.
Overall, the PAS Haiti Election Outreach Program is best understood as a small, focused funding stream for non-partisan civic and electoral initiatives that expand participation, strengthen voter knowledge, elevate women and youth in political life, and improve the integrity of election-related information, all while incorporating a concrete U.S. cultural or expert connection that adds value to the programming.Apply for DOS PD PAP DF 19
