Opportunity Information: Apply for PAS UKRAINE FY23 07
Supporting English Language Training for Ukrainian Professionals and Civil Servants (Funding Opportunity Number: PAS UKRAINE FY23 07) is a discretionary grant competition run by the Regional English Language Office (RELO) within the Public Affairs Section (PAS) at the U.S. Embassy Kyiv, under the U.S. Department of State (U.S. Mission to Ukraine). The opportunity is designed to fund one or more programs that expand and improve practical English-language capacity for Ukrainian civil servants, government officials, and professionals who need English to perform their responsibilities now or in the future. The underlying policy goal is broader than language instruction alone: the program aims to strengthen civil society and democratic governance by giving public-sector actors the English skills needed to work effectively with international partners and to support Western-oriented reforms and integration.
The grant emphasizes alignment with Ukraine’s existing and emerging government efforts to raise English proficiency across the civil service and among professionals in strategically important sectors. Applicants are expected to propose training that is relevant to real workplace needs, acknowledging the constraints of adult learners who are already working full time. Projects may be delivered online, in a blended format, or in person, and proposals may also include an exchange component if it meaningfully supports the program’s objectives. A key expectation is sustainability: proposals should be built on a model that can continue producing results beyond the life of the award, rather than relying on one-off trainings that end when funding ends.
Program objectives highlighted in the announcement include improving the overall quality of English training for Ukrainian professionals with job-related English requirements; building the capacity of Ukrainian government officials to engage more effectively with international counterparts through targeted, relevant English instruction; and strengthening U.S.-Ukraine ties through collaborative activities and deliverables that promote mutual understanding and democratic values. Competitive submissions are expected to demonstrate experience working with the Ukrainian government (or closely adjacent institutions), along with a clear understanding of current initiatives aimed at improving English among civil servants and other priority professional groups.
The primary participant groups include Ukrainian civil servants and government officials, as well as Ukrainian professionals in strategic industries. The announcement specifically names sectors such as energy, border service, civil infrastructure, communications, the food industry, and education, while leaving room for other strategically relevant fields. The opportunity also recognizes the role of local capacity building by including Ukrainian English language instructors who work with adult professionals as a target audience, which signals that train-the-trainer elements, instructional quality improvements, or teacher professional development may be appropriate components if they support the broader outcomes.
The application process is explicitly two-step. Organizations must first submit a concise Statement of Interest (SOI) of up to three pages that clearly lays out the program concept and objectives; the SOI is not a full proposal. The SOI stage functions as an initial screening so the funder can evaluate ideas before applicants invest time in developing full applications. After a merit review of eligible SOIs, selected applicants will be invited to submit a full proposal, which will then undergo a second merit review before final award decisions. All awards are contingent on funding availability.
Eligibility is open to Ukrainian and U.S. non-commercial organizations, including both public and private entities. U.S. public and private non-profit organizations must meet the requirements of 26 USC 501(c)(3). The opportunity is issued under CFDA 19.900. The posted award ceiling is $200,000, with the original closing date listed as July 17, 2023, and the opportunity creation date as June 2, 2023.Apply for PAS UKRAINE FY23 07
