Opportunity Information: Apply for PAS CMR FY20 07
The U.S. Embassy in Cameroon, under the U.S. Department of State (U.S. Mission to Cameroon), opened a discretionary grant competition titled "Boosting Frontline Health Workers' Ability in Responding to COVID-19 - Virtual Awareness and Capacity Building Training Project" (Funding Opportunity Number PAS CMR FY20 07). The opportunity was created on July 14, 2020, with an original application deadline of August 10, 2020, and it sits within the Health funding activity category under CFDA 19.040. The embassy’s core intent is to fund practical projects that strengthen Cameroon's COVID-19 response by improving public understanding of the disease, encouraging safer behaviors, supporting frontline health workers, and reducing the harm caused by misinformation and stigma.
The grant is framed around the reality that Cameroon was experiencing high COVID-19 case numbers at the time, and that the outbreak was being intensified by several social and informational barriers. These include low public awareness of risk, confusion about how the virus spreads, limited knowledge of reliable prevention methods, and stigmatization of people associated with COVID-19. The funding is meant to directly address those barriers by backing interventions that help communities access accurate information, make informed choices, and maintain trust in health providers and the health system.
Applicants are expected to build proposals around at least one of the program objectives outlined in the notice. These objectives include: improving awareness of COVID-19 and its risks in Cameroon, including improving access to relevant data analysis; combating misinformation about the disease and purported treatments; encouraging individuals and communities to adopt measures that prevent transmission; countering stigma directed at people affected by COVID-19; and strengthening the capacity of health workers to respond effectively while building public confidence in medical professionals. In practice, this points toward projects that combine public communication with training and support for health workers, particularly initiatives that can show measurable improvements in knowledge, attitudes, and protective behaviors.
Implementation expectations are strongly shaped by public health precautions. Proposed activities must align with Cameroon's national COVID-19 response plan and be carried out in ways that respect prevention measures such as maintaining roughly 2-meter distance, wearing masks, and limiting large gatherings. A major emphasis is placed on using virtual tools where appropriate in order to reduce the risk of transmission. The announcement also signals that budgets should realistically account for the costs that come with remote delivery, such as internet access and data bundles for participants in virtual workshops or trainings, which is especially relevant for capacity-building activities aimed at frontline personnel.
In terms of who can apply, the eligible applicant pool includes nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (also other than institutions of higher education), and individuals. The embassy anticipated making around five awards, with a maximum award ceiling of $40,000 per grant. Overall, the opportunity is designed for relatively small, targeted, and quickly deployable interventions that can be delivered safely during an active outbreak, with a clear focus on awareness, behavior change, misinformation reduction, stigma mitigation, and frontline health worker readiness in Cameroon.Apply for PAS CMR FY20 07
