Opportunity Information: Apply for DOS AF MAP PD FY23 04
The U.S. Embassy in Mozambique, under the U.S. Department of State, is inviting organizations to apply for funding to run a youth basketball program based in Pemba, with activities focused in Cabo Delgado. The core idea is to use basketball as a practical, community-centered tool to bring young people together, strengthen leadership skills, and support peacebuilding in areas affected by tension, displacement, and trauma. Proposals are expected to place basketball at the center of the project, using practices, trainings, and organized tournaments to encourage healthy competition, reduce discrimination, and create positive connections among youth, families, local communities, and authorities.
A major emphasis of the opportunity is the role sports can play in recovery and resilience. The program is meant to help young participants rebuild confidence and social trust after difficult experiences, including trauma linked to conflict and displacement. Applicants are encouraged to design sustained activities that support not only physical fitness, but also educational, emotional, and psychological well-being. The Embassy signals that professional support is important, such as involving counselors, social workers, or other qualified personnel who can help children process trauma, strengthen coping skills, and connect them to support systems. Another key expectation is that the project should include structures that help keep children in school and, importantly, encourage youth who are currently out of school to return.
The target participants are children and youth ages 6 to 21 who are interested in sports, including both local residents and internally displaced youth. The program should deliberately include groups that are often left out of sports opportunities, with a special focus on girls and young people with disabilities. In addition to inclusive recruitment, applicants are expected to address practical barriers to participation. That includes ensuring beneficiaries can reach activity sites safely and consistently, and that they have the basic equipment needed to participate properly, such as sports gear and appropriate athletic footwear.
Funding is available through FY22/23 Economic Support Funds under the Foreign Assistance Act. The Embassy anticipates making up to two awards, depending on available funding. Individual awards are expected to range from USD 200,000 to USD 400,000, with a total funding pool of USD 400,000. The project performance period is up to 24 months, and proposed programs are expected to be completed within that timeframe. The anticipated start date listed is October 1, 2023, and the opportunity is noted as being subject to the availability of funds.
The funding instrument may be issued as either a grant or a cooperative agreement. The notice highlights that cooperative agreements differ from standard grants because Embassy or bureau staff have more active involvement in implementation, described as "substantial involvement." The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number DOS AF MAP PD FY23 04, CFDA 19.979, posted April 18, 2023, with an original closing date of May 22, 2023.Apply for DOS AF MAP PD FY23 04
