The Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs leads Department efforts to expand and strengthen the relationships between the people of the United States and citizens of other countries.
The Public Diplomacy Small Grants Program offered by the Embassy’s Public Diplomacy Section invites proposals for programs that align with U.S. foreign policy goals in Uzbekistan. These include enhancing sustainable economic growth, accountable governance and stability, and combating transnational threats. The grants aim to foster sustained cooperation between the U.S. and Uzbekistan, emphasizing the inclusion of American elements such as experts, organizations, institutions, or educational/informational resources to promote mutual understanding between the peoples of the two nations. Competitive proposals will ideally involve activities that continue to foster U.S.-Uzbekistan cooperation even after the project's completion.
