Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0009903
The South Sudan Peace Talks Facilitation grant (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0009903) is a discretionary U.S. Department of State funding opportunity issued by the Bureau of African Affairs to support peace process implementation in South Sudan. The central purpose is to help advance commitments made under the 2018 Revitalized Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in South Sudan (R-ARCSS), which is the key framework intended to guide the country from conflict toward a more stable political settlement.
This opportunity is aimed at projects that strengthen peace and security engagement inside South Sudan by working directly with key South Sudan-based stakeholders. In practical terms, proposals are expected to focus on facilitation, dialogue support, coordination, and other forms of engagement that can help reduce political tensions and move implementation of the peace agreement forward. A major emphasis is on improving the effectiveness and inclusivity of political processes that have been delayed, particularly the constitutional drafting process and preparation for elections, where broad participation and credible civil society input are often seen as essential to legitimacy and long-term stability.
A second core priority is building the capacity of South Sudanese civil society actors so they can play a stronger role in promoting inclusive governance. The NOFO signals interest in supporting organizations and networks that can advocate for broader representation, bring community perspectives into national-level discussions, and encourage more inclusive participation in constitution-making and election-related processes. While the announcement does not prescribe a single program model, the clear intent is to support credible, locally grounded efforts that increase inclusion and constructive engagement across political and social lines.
The award is structured as a grant, with an anticipated single award and a maximum funding level (award ceiling) of $500,000. The program is listed under CFDA 19.223 and categorized under Humanities (with reference to Cultural Affairs in CFDA), reflecting the diplomacy, dialogue, and civic participation dimensions of the work rather than purely technical development assistance.
Eligibility is limited to U.S.-recognized nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The funding opportunity was created on June 16, 2023, with an original closing date of July 31, 2023 (with applicants directed to consult the NOFO for any updates). Overall, the grant is designed for an experienced nonprofit capable of supporting peace process facilitation and strengthening civil society engagement in ways that tangibly contribute to implementing the R-ARCSS and making South Sudan's constitutional and electoral pathways more inclusive.Apply for SFOP0009903
