Programs and Events
The Ambassador's Special Self Help Program
The Ambassador’s Special Self Help Program (SSH) is a development program funded by the United States Agency for International Development’s (USAID). The fund is designed to assist small-scale development projects that are directed toward improving basic socioeconomic conditions at the grassroots level. We aim to support high-impact, quick-implementation activities. The primary objective is to help people help themselves. Therefore, every project must include a strong element of community involvement.
When to apply?
In early March a formal announcement is placed in local newspapers with a deadline for submission of project proposals.
