Opportunity Information: Apply for 022019

The Strategic Communications for Community Resilience in Mozambique opportunity is a U.S. Department of State funding notice released by the U.S. Mission to Mozambique (U.S. Embassy Mozambique) focused on strengthening community resilience in northern Mozambique through better-informed, locally grounded communications. The core idea is to fund a program that first conducts audience analysis and then partners with local influencers to design and deliver targeted strategic communications interventions. In practice, this points to work like mapping key audiences, understanding what different communities believe and trust, identifying the channels they use (radio, community leaders, social media, religious networks, youth groups, etc.), and then using that research to shape messages and outreach approaches that are credible and effective in the local context.

Funding is expected to be provided through a single cooperative agreement, meaning the Embassy anticipates being actively involved during implementation rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal interaction. The Embassy indicates an intent to make one award, with a maximum award amount (ceiling) of up to USD 500,000, depending on the availability of funds and the needs of the project. The planned period of performance is up to 24 months, giving the implementing partner time to complete research, develop messaging, test and refine communications products, and run sustained campaigns rather than short, one-off activities. The anticipated start date listed is October 1, 2019, which signals that the project schedule was designed around a U.S. government fiscal year timeline.

The opportunity was published July 5, 2019, under Funding Opportunity Number 022019, with an original application deadline of August 19, 2019. It is categorized as an "Other" opportunity type and "Other" funding activity category (with clarification referenced in the full NOFO text). The CFDA number attached to the opportunity is 19.040, which is commonly associated with public diplomacy and related State Department assistance activities.

Eligibility is noted broadly as "Others," with the specific eligible applicant types and any restrictions expected to be detailed in the NOFO section on Eligibility Information. That typically means applicants may include a range of entities such as non-profit organizations, civil society groups, NGOs, educational institutions, or other qualified organizations, but the precise rules (including registration requirements, local vs. international eligibility, cost share expectations, or limitations on certain entity types) would be contained in the full announcement package.

A few administrative points in the notice are important for applicants to understand. The Embassy explicitly reserves the right to fund any or none of the proposals submitted, which is standard language indicating that submission does not guarantee an award. It also reserves the right to reduce, revise, or increase the proposed budget based on project needs and funds availability, so applicants should be prepared for negotiation and for the possibility that the final award amount could differ from the request. The notice also emphasizes that the only legally authorizing document is the federal award signed by the State Department Grants Officer, underscoring that informal communications or preliminary discussions are not binding.

The full NOFO is described as containing an Overview and Executive Summary plus several standard sections that guide applicants on what to propose and how proposals will be assessed. These include: (I) the Funding Opportunity Description, which should lay out the program goals, expected activities, and intended outcomes; (II) Federal Award Information, covering the funding instrument, ceiling, duration, and expected number of awards; (III) Eligibility Information; (IV) Application and Submission Information, detailing required forms, narratives, budgets, and submission procedures; (V) Application Evaluation and Scoring, explaining the criteria used to review proposals; (VI) Federal Award Administration Information, outlining compliance, reporting, monitoring, and any special award conditions; and (VII) Agency Contacts for applicant questions. Overall, the opportunity is designed for an organization capable of combining research-driven audience insights with practical, influencer-supported communications campaigns tailored to northern Mozambique over a two-year timeframe.
