The Embassy seeks projects designed to further the development of Rwanda’s future leaders, build the capacity of Rwandan institutions, and promote awareness and understanding of shared U.S. and Rwandan values.
The U.S. Embassy Kigali strives to ensure that its efforts reflect the diversity of U.S. society and societies abroad.

Opportunities are open to people regardless of their race, color, national origin, sex, age, religion, geographic location, socio-economic status, disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity.
Purpose of Small Grants: PDS Kigali invites proposals for programs that support U.S. Embassy goals in Rwanda (see priority program areas).

Successful proposals will clearly define anticipated results of the program, when results will be expected, and how the U.S. Embassy can measure the anticipated results. Successful grantees will proactively show progress towards results through regular reporting to the U.S. Embassy. U.S. Embassy officials will visit the program to monitor progress.
