Opportunity Information: Apply for BH007FY2024
The U.S. Speaker and Specialist Grants Program (Funding Opportunity Number BH007FY2024) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Mission to Bosnia and Herzegovina designed to support short-term engagements that bring U.S. experts to Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). The central idea is to help NGOs, academic institutions, and independent media connect with qualified American specialists (U.S. citizens only) who can travel to BiH and work directly with local audiences and institutions. These engagements are meant to be practical and public-facing, typically delivered through lectures, workshops, and seminars, and can also include appearances in local or foreign media as well as consultative work where the expert advises an organization, institution, or professional group.
The program prioritizes visits and activities that align with a broad set of governance, civic, and social-resilience themes. Supported topics include rule of law and anti-corruption efforts, strengthening citizen political participation, promoting and professionalizing civil society, modernizing education, and encouraging entrepreneurship. It also places strong emphasis on information integrity and public resilience by supporting work in investigative journalism, countering disinformation, and improving media literacy. Additional priority areas include countering gender-based violence, supporting vulnerable populations, and countering violent extremism. Across these themes, the grant is structured to facilitate direct knowledge transfer from U.S. experts to BiH stakeholders and to encourage practical outcomes such as skill-building, institutional improvements, and stronger professional networks.
A major objective of the program is relationship-building and long-term linkage development between the United States and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Beyond the immediate benefit of expert-led programming, the grant aims to promote greater understanding of U.S. strategic priorities, policies, and institutions, while also creating sustained connections between American experts and BiH organizations. In practice, that means proposals that clearly show how the visit will build durable partnerships, create follow-on collaboration, or strengthen institutional ties may fit well with the program’s intent.
Eligibility is open to non-governmental, non-profit organizations (including think tanks and civil society groups), academic institutions, and independent media organizations that are based and legally registered in Bosnia and Herzegovina. American individuals are also eligible to apply, and U.S.-based organizations can apply as well; however, the opportunity states there is a strong preference to award grants to BiH-based organizations. A key limitation is that organizations and individuals may submit only one proposal under this program, so applicants need to focus their concept and select the most compelling set of activities rather than splitting ideas across multiple submissions.
Funding is offered through a grant instrument, with an award ceiling of $8,000 per award and an expected total of about 10 awards. The opportunity falls under CFDA number 19.440 and was posted with a creation date of March 18, 2024, and an original closing date of April 30, 2024. Overall, this is a relatively small, targeted grant meant to support focused expert visits that deliver concrete learning and engagement opportunities in BiH while advancing shared priorities around good governance, civic participation, independent media, social protection, and community resilience.Apply for BH007FY2024
