Opportunity Information: Apply for TASHKENT PAS FY22 08

Youth Empowerment Through International Exchange is a U.S. Department of State grant opportunity run through the U.S. Embassy in Tashkent (Public Diplomacy Section) that funds short-term exchange programs designed to strengthen mutual understanding and people-to-people ties between the United States and Uzbekistan. The program is built around the idea that Uzbekistan is undergoing rapid economic change and expanding its international engagement, which increases the need for young citizens who can communicate across cultures, build partnerships, and help carry forward the country s reform agenda. Because a large share of Uzbekistan s population is under 30, the opportunity places a strong emphasis on preparing youth now so they can become effective future leaders and connectors in education, civil society, and professional life.

The grant specifically supports innovative and creative exchange initiatives for secondary school and university students, with a clear preference for projects that develop leadership skills and global citizenship. Proposed activities should help participants understand shared challenges, practice collaborative problem-solving, and build durable relationships with peers and institutions in the United States. A defining feature is that the exchange portion must take place in the United States, and the participant travel should be short-term, generally ranging from 10 to 30 days. The overall intent is not only to provide a one-time experience, but to create long-lasting networks and exposure that can shape participants academic trajectories, career goals, and civic engagement well beyond the program period.

From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number TASHKENT PAS FY22 08) is categorized as a discretionary award and will be issued as a cooperative agreement, meaning the Embassy is likely to remain actively involved in coordination and oversight compared to a more hands-off grant. The CFDA number listed is 19.900. The award ceiling is up to 250,000 dollars, and the announcement anticipated up to 10 awards. The competition opened July 1, 2022, with an original closing date of August 1, 2022. Eligibility is listed broadly as Others, indicating that applicants should consult the eligibility clarification in the full notice, but in general the competition is aimed at organizations capable of designing and implementing international youth exchanges.

A notable requirement is public visibility: grantees are expected to publicize project activities through social media and or traditional media and to clearly acknowledge U.S. Embassy support by using the Embassy logo on project materials. In practical terms, applicants should be prepared to incorporate communications and outreach into program design, documenting activities and outcomes in a way that highlights the partnership and increases awareness of the exchange program s impact.
