Opportunity Information: Apply for PAS JUB FY24 01
The grant opportunity titled "Urging South Sudan's Transitional Government to Spend Public Revenue on Public Needs" (Funding Opportunity Number: PAS JUB FY24 01) is a U.S. Mission to South Sudan discretionary grant aimed at tackling persistent problems in how South Sudan's transitional government manages public money. The core focus is the lack of transparency and accountability in the allocation and spending of public revenue, which has contributed to significant corruption and the diversion or misuse of funds. The opportunity is framed around the real-world consequences of these governance failures, especially the way poor public financial management undermines delivery of essential services and support systems that communities rely on, including healthcare, education, and humanitarian assistance.
The NOFO emphasizes that, despite commitments made under the 2018 peace agreement, meaningful progress on fiscal transparency and accountable public spending has remained limited. The description points to concerns documented by independent reports and international organizations, suggesting that the funding is intended to support practical, locally driven efforts that can improve oversight, increase public access to information about revenue and expenditures, and strengthen civic pressure for government spending to reflect public needs rather than private interests. In other words, the grant is designed to support initiatives that help citizens and civil society better understand where public money is coming from, how it is being budgeted, and whether it is actually reaching intended programs and communities.
Eligibility is specifically oriented toward local South Sudanese civil society, with "Local (South Sudanese) NGO and CSOs" identified as the target applicant group. The funding instrument is a grant, with an award ceiling of $50,000 and an expectation of one award. The original closing date listed is July 26, 2024, and the opportunity is administered by the U.S. Mission to South Sudan under CFDA 19.040. Overall, the opportunity is positioned as a small, focused award intended to enable a single project that confronts public finance opacity and strengthens accountability mechanisms, with the broader aim of pushing public revenue toward public priorities and improving outcomes for ordinary South Sudanese communities.Apply for PAS JUB FY24 01
