Opportunity Information: Apply for STATE BISHKEK PAS 22 0003
The Book Translation Program (BTP) is a U.S. Department of State grant opportunity run by the U.S. Mission to Kyrgyzstan that funds the translation and distribution of American books into the Kyrgyz language. The idea is straightforward: high-quality Kyrgyz-language translations are a practical way to reach Kyrgyz-speaking audiences, especially in rural areas where access to new materials and diverse viewpoints can be limited. At the same time, the program supports the continued development and everyday use of Kyrgyz as the state language and helps the Mission build constructive relationships with local ministries and officials by supplying useful, professionally produced books in Kyrgyz. This approach is framed as a mission priority because it expands outreach to Kyrgyz-speaking communities through a format that is both accessible and popular.
The main goal is to increase Kyrgyz-language readers access to a broader range of information and ideas, including recent research, analysis, and contemporary literature by American authors. Proposals for FY2022 can be either fiction or nonfiction, but they must clearly align with one or more priority themes. The first theme is STEAM, meaning projects can focus on any mix of science, technology, engineering, arts, and math. The second theme is environmental conservation, centered on improving public understanding of why environmental protection matters and how to achieve it, with special emphasis placed on air quality. The third theme is business empowerment and social entrepreneurship, focused on economic independence, entrepreneurship, and sustainable development, ideally aimed at marginalized, underrepresented, or vulnerable groups to help improve the broader business climate. The fourth theme is civic engagement and rural-to-urban migrations, which emphasizes civic participation and awareness of challenges tied to migration and the marginalization of rural communities.
The program sets concrete outcomes to be achieved by the end of 2024. First, it aims to expand access to books within one to two of the priority themes for at least 10,000 Kyrgyz-speaking readers, highlighting distribution and reach as a central measure of success. Second, it aims to deepen understanding of at least one priority theme by engaging at least 200 beneficiaries through follow-on activities beyond simply handing out books, such as workshops, facilitated discussions, or other learning sessions. Third, it seeks to connect reading and learning to real opportunities by increasing awareness of U.S. government supported programs that relate to the chosen theme. Examples include STEM-related activities like Maker Space labs, inventors camps, hackathons, and STEM-themed exchange programs; environmental programming such as eco camps, workshops, and environmental exchanges; business and entrepreneurship campaigns and trainings; and civic engagement activities such as community projects.
The priority audience is Kyrgyz-language speaking youth and young professionals ages 15 to 35, particularly those whose access to information and international perspectives is limited because relatively few global publications are available in Kyrgyz. Applicants are also expected to pay attention to what has already been translated under past efforts. The grant discourages proposing titles that are already on the previously translated list, unless the applicant is offering a genuinely new format or accessibility option, such as a Kyrgyz Braille edition.
