Opportunity Information: Apply for PAS EGY FY22 01
The U.S. Embassy Cairo Public Affairs Section (PAS) Annual Program Statement (Funding Opportunity Number PAS EGY FY22 01) is a discretionary U.S. Department of State grant/cooperative agreement opportunity designed to fund programs that deepen academic, cultural, and people-to-people connections between the United States and Egypt. The core idea is public diplomacy: proposals should highlight shared values, encourage bilateral cooperation, and help Egyptian audiences better understand U.S. policy and perspectives. A non-negotiable requirement is that every project includes a clear "American element," meaning direct engagement with American experts, organizations, or institutions, or program content that connects participants to U.S. approaches and experience in a specific field.
PAS is especially interested in proposals that are strategic and sustained rather than one-off events. In practical terms, they signal a preference for project designs that run roughly 12 to 18 months and include a sequence of activities that build on each other over time. Proposals are also more competitive when they integrate multiple U.S. public diplomacy tools and platforms, such as partnerships with the American Center Cairo, coordination with the Regional English Language Office, and meaningful engagement with U.S. government exchange program alumni and alumni networks.
Priority funding is directed toward proposals that align with at least one of six thematic program areas. One priority area is programming tied to the 100th anniversary of U.S.-Egypt diplomatic relations (marked in April 2022), with an emphasis on creative initiatives that showcase what the two countries have achieved together across political, economic, academic, and cultural spheres, while strengthening cultural diplomacy and public understanding of the strategic relationship. Another priority is climate action, connected to Egypt hosting COP-27 in November 2022; relevant projects might spotlight U.S.-Egypt cooperation on environmental efforts, promote climate-focused STEM and youth environmental education, support green entrepreneurship, or build the capacity of environmental organizations. A third theme is economic growth, where PAS is looking for efforts that reinforce inclusive development, competitiveness, workforce skills, and innovation, with special attention to economic empowerment for women, youth, and underserved communities, and education-to-employment pathways that lead to real job outcomes or stronger U.S.-Egypt economic ties.
Additional priority areas include support for civil society, reflecting Egypts designation of 2022 as the "year of civil society." Under this theme, PAS is interested in programs that strengthen civic engagement and organizational vitality, while also advancing diversity and inclusion, tolerance, conflict resolution, and social cohesion. Education is another central pillar: strong proposals may encourage study in the United States, create lasting institutional partnerships between American and Egyptian universities, expand higher-education training opportunities for students and faculty, and stimulate joint academic or scientific research between Egyptian and U.S. scholars. The sixth area focuses on cultural programs and arts management, recognizing the long-standing role of arts and culture in U.S.-Egypt relations; competitive proposals may convene American and Egyptian specialists in visual and performing arts, film, literature, design and architecture, cultural heritage management, and the creative economy, and may also include practical training that improves organizational and management capacity in the arts and cultural sector.
The opportunity explicitly supports a wide range of project formats, as long as they clearly connect U.S. and Egyptian participants and advance the public diplomacy goals described above. Examples include lecture series and professional seminars featuring American and Egyptian speakers; artistic workshops, performances, exhibitions, and film showcases or film-industry training; initiatives that strengthen the creative economy and professionalize arts management; entrepreneurship trainings, competitions, and ecosystem-building activities; climate literacy and environmental education programs that equip participants with usable tools and skills; and workshops that promote inclusive civic participation and constructive dialogue.
From an administrative standpoint, awards may be issued as grants or cooperative agreements. The opportunity is listed under CFDA 19.040 and was released by the Department of State, U.S. Mission to Egypt.
