Opportunity Information: Apply for DOS KAZ NS PAS 22 002
The Annual Program Statement for Cultural Affairs (Funding Opportunity Number: DOS KAZ NS PAS 22 002) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of State, U.S. Mission to Kazakhstan. It invites proposals for projects that deepen cultural, educational, and professional connections between the United States and Kazakhstan while advancing at least one of the Embassy's stated priority program areas. A central requirement is that every project includes a substantial American element, meaning a clear and meaningful connection to U.S. experts, organizations, or institutions, and a deliberate effort to increase understanding of U.S. perspectives and policy. Strong proposals are expected to define specific target audiences, explain why those groups matter for achieving the project outcomes, and show how the relationships and cooperation built during the project will continue in a practical way after the grant period ends.
The program is broadly framed to support exchange and collaboration activities that create people-to-people ties and transferable skills. Examples mentioned in the announcement include professional and academic exchanges and trainings; lectures, seminars, and speaker programs; artistic and cultural workshops, joint performances, and exhibitions; and cultural heritage conservation and preservation efforts. While these are only examples, they signal that the Embassy is open to a range of formats as long as the project design is purposeful, audience-driven, and built around U.S.-Kazakhstan cooperation rather than stand-alone local events.
The first priority area focuses on strengthening public resiliency to disinformation. The Embassy notes that Kazakhstan's media environment is expanding and diversifying and that people increasingly consume and share information online, including through messaging apps, which creates a need for stronger habits around verification and use of credible sources. Projects under this theme should draw on American best practices and expertise to help information professionals (such as journalists, librarians, teachers, and professors) use objective and editorially diverse sources more effectively with their audiences. The Embassy also emphasizes support for civil society actors, opinion leaders, influencers, and emerging leaders who can identify and counter recurring disinformation narratives, including those related to COVID-19 and health. Another angle the Embassy highlights is promoting the use of authentic and objective English-language information sources among English-speaking audiences in Kazakhstan.
The second priority area supports democratic institutions and human rights, grounded in values like respect for civil and human rights, rule of law, social justice, and grassroots problem-solving. The Embassy is looking for projects that promote human rights in innovative ways, including through education and the arts, and that connect Kazakhstanis and Kazakhstani organizations with American experience and approaches. Specific topics of interest include strengthening journalist rights and access to independent and free media, improving civil society capacity to advocate for and assist particular social groups (including access to legal, health, and social services), advancing gender equality to reduce economic and political inequalities affecting women and other marginalized communities, and increasing awareness of gender-based violence while supporting initiatives that address and prevent domestic violence.
The third priority area targets inclusive and diversified economic growth tied to an equitable, climate-focused, and resilient energy future. The announcement references Kazakhstan's stated goal of carbon neutrality by 2060 while noting that emissions have risen above 1990 levels and may miss 2030 targets under the Paris Agreement, in part because the economy and public budgets depend heavily on hydrocarbons. Against that backdrop, the Embassy seeks proposals that share American innovation and expertise to encourage climate-conscious policies and business practices, expand renewable energy and energy efficiency (including in industrial settings), and build entrepreneurship skills and opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises in more diversified and underdeveloped sectors. This priority area also explicitly encourages initiatives that raise womens participation in the economy, especially in private sector leadership, and supports programs that increase womens entrepreneurship and business leadership.
