Opportunity Information: Apply for STATE BISHKEK PAS 18 0001
The U.S. Department of State, through the Public Affairs Section (PAS) of the U.S. Embassy in Bishkek, Kyrgyz Republic, announced a discretionary funding opportunity called "Design Hub: Information for Central Asia" (Funding Opportunity Number: STATE BISHKEK PAS 18 0001). The program is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the U.S. government would expect to stay actively involved in shaping or overseeing implementation compared with a more hands-off grant.
The Design Hub is envisioned as a new, three-year regional initiative focused on Central Asia, specifically Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan. Its central purpose is to expand the availability and reach of American media content across the region. Alongside distribution and access, the program also aims to strengthen local media capacity by providing training and support to media organizations operating in these countries. In practical terms, this indicates an emphasis not only on sharing U.S.-origin content, but also on developing skills, tools, and operational resilience within partner media outlets so they can better produce, package, and deliver content to their audiences.
A further core element of the Design Hub is content production: the selected implementers would be expected to create multimedia material that can be used by U.S. Embassies and Consulates across Central Asia. This suggests deliverables could include video, audio, graphics, digital storytelling, social media assets, or other modern formats suitable for public diplomacy and information outreach, tailored for different platforms and local contexts.
Financially, the opportunity anticipated a total funding level of up to $2,400,000 to cover the full three years of programming, with an award ceiling set at $2,400,000. The posting indicated an expectation of up to three awards, implying the Department of State could fund multiple implementers or multiple components to achieve the regional goals. The opportunity was posted on May 18, 2018, with an original closing date of July 20, 2018. It is associated with CFDA number 19.040 and was issued by the Department of State, Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs. Eligibility was listed broadly under an "Others" category, indicating that non-standard applicant types could be eligible depending on the additional eligibility language in the full announcement.Apply for STATE BISHKEK PAS 18 0001
