PAS Public Affairs Section Kampala will prioritize grant proposals that address the following themes:

•  Cultural Projects: Cultural activities engage the public, especially youth, to bridge cultures, deepen cultural ties and understanding, discuss topics of importance, and promote the free exchange of ideas. The U.S. Embassy is interested in supporting arts and culture projects that strengthen cultural ties between the United States and Uganda. Examples of possible programs include writing workshops, artist collaborations, theatre/filmmaking/storytelling clubs, travelling productions, dance or sports performances or competitions, or similar events and activities.
  •  The U.S. Embassy is particularly interested in promoting U.S. and Ugandan cooperation in the area of film. Particular consideration will be given to projects that support filmmaking in Uganda such as screenwriting workshops, training in different aspects of film production, screenplay or short film competitions, or screenings and discussions of U.S. and Ugandan films. 
•  Projects that increase educational opportunities in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), entrepreneurship, and critical thinking and debate.
•  Supporting freedom of speech and expression, including via civic education.
•  Strengthening independent media through media literacy, training, and other engagement.
