Description
The U.S. Embassy Bujumbura Public Diplomacy Section is seeking proposals for programs that strengthen ties between the United States and Burundi through cultural and exchange programming. The programs should highlight shared values and promote bilateral cooperation, and must include a U.S. element, priority, or goal. The priority program areas include skills for success, entrepreneurship, civil society/journalism, and environmental sustainability. The proposals should clearly indicate the intended participants and audiences, and should include a detailed budget justification and a program monitoring and evaluation plan.
• Skills for Success: programs promoting education, a lecture series, or an academic exchange
• Entrepreneurship: programs providing entrepreneurship opportunities for Burundian youth
• Civil Society/Journalism: programs that help Burundian journalists produce high-quality reporting on topics of shared U.S.-Burundi interest
• Environmental sustainability: programs that support initiatives to mitigate the effects of climate change
