Description
1) Objective
The U.S. Embassy in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire is pleased to announce an open competition for organizations to submit a project proposal for its Ambassador’s Special Self-Help Program. The Ambassador’s Special Self-Help (SSH) Program started in 1964 in Togo and quickly spread across the continent as a grass-roots assistance program that allows U.S. embassies to respond to local requests for small community-based development projects. Since the program began in Côte d’Ivoire in 1982, Embassy Abidjan has provided about $3,000,000 of assistance to a diverse range of rural and urban communities in Côte d’Ivoire.
The SSH Program awards grants to registered non-governmental, non-profit, community-based organizations to implement short-term, small-scale development projects that include community involvement and have a quick-impact on a large number of people. Priority consideration is given to income generating projects that improve basic economic or social conditions at the village level and benefit many people.
2) Eligibility
The applicant must be a Côte d’Ivoire registered non-governmental, non-profit, or community-based organization. Registered non-governmental organizations, trusts, associations, cooperatives, women’s groups, schools, churches, etc. meet this eligibility requirement.
3) Location
Actions must take place in Ivory Coast.
4) Budget
Grants may range from $2,000-$11,000.
5) Application
Applications are accepted throughout the year. The application template can be downloaded from their website.
