U.S. Embassy N’Djamena Small Grants Program
The U. S. Embassy N’Djamena Public Diplomacy Section (PDS) of the Bureau of African Affairs, U. S. Department of State, announces an open competition for organizations to submit a statement of interest (SOI) for funding to carry out a program that aligns with our strategic themes and priorities.
