Opportunity Information: Apply for AFYDE SSH GR POLECON 2021
The Ambassador's Special Self-Help Program (POL/ECON) offered by the U.S. Embassy in Yaounde, Cameroon is a small grants opportunity designed to support practical, community-level projects that measurably improve living conditions across all ten regions of Cameroon. Managed through the Embassy's Political and Economic Section, the program is meant to fund locally driven solutions that respond to everyday needs and can show clear, on-the-ground results for community members.
Projects proposed under this opportunity can focus on one or more priority areas. These include Social Services, such as education initiatives, health-related activities, vocational training, and local development efforts that may include small infrastructure like community bridges. The program also welcomes proposals in Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), which typically covers access to clean water, sanitation facilities, and hygiene promotion that reduces disease and improves public health. In addition, applicants may propose Income Generating Activities that strengthen livelihoods, create employment, or improve household income. Finally, the opportunity supports Environment and Agriculture projects, which may include activities that improve agricultural productivity, strengthen food security, promote sustainable land use, or address environmental protection concerns at the community level.
Eligibility is limited to locally registered Community Based Organizations (CBOs), associations, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that have at least two years of experience operating and implementing activities in Cameroon. The opportunity also includes key restrictions aimed at ensuring funds go to reliable implementers and to spread support across different organizations over time. Organizations that received Self-Help Fund grants in each of the two previous years are not eligible to receive funding in the current year, since this is the third consecutive year referenced in the notice. Additionally, any organization with a known history of poor performance on U.S. government grants is not eligible to apply.
The funding instrument is a grant, listed under an "Other" opportunity category and "Other" activity category, with CFDA number 19.700. The award ceiling is USD 10,000, indicating the program is intended for small-scale, high-impact projects rather than large infrastructure or long-term multi-year programs. The opportunity was created on March 4, 2021, and the original closing date for applications was May 2, 2021. The funding opportunity number is AFYDE SSH GR POLECON 2021, and the issuing agency is the U.S. Mission to Cameroon.Apply for AFYDE SSH GR POLECON 2021
