Description
The U.S. Mission to Jordan is seeking proposals for the 2022 Alumni Engagement Innovation Fund, which aims to support innovative solutions to global challenges facing local communities. The fund will support projects that promote mental health awareness and services for women and youth, increase access to healthcare services for vulnerable populations, and mitigate substance abuse and environmental degradation. Proposals must be submitted by teams of at least two alumni of U.S. government-funded or sponsored exchange programs. The proposed projects should be designed to address specific needs or challenges in the community and should include a clear plan for implementation, monitoring, and evaluation.
Some key areas of focus for the fund include:
• Promoting mental health awareness and services for women and youth
• Increasing access to healthcare services for vulnerable and underserved populations
• Mitigating substance abuse and drug use, including rehabilitation
• Implementing anti-littering campaigns and greening initiatives to ease the burden on underprivileged communities
