Synopsis
The U.S. Department of State’s Embassy Harare, through its Public Diplomacy Section, announces and open competition to implement a program to provide administrative and programmatic support to the American Corner Gweru. The American Corner Gweru is a public space run jointly by the U.S. Embassy and Gweru Memorial Public Library. The program aims to find a qualified organization to manage and implement public diplomacy activities at this location. All proposals must include an American cultural component and show a clear connection to American experts, organizations, or institutions. The selected partner will organize interactive activities focused on technology access, entrepreneurship training, innovation events, sports activities, and cultural programs that reflect American values and support U.S. foreign policy goals in Zimbabwe. The purpose of this funding is to strengthen the Corner’s effectiveness by creating programs that help people better understand American perspectives, policies, and society. Project activities must take place in Zimbabwe and be directed at Zimbabwean audiences/participants.
Funding Instrument Type: Cooperative Agreement
Project Performance Period: Proposed projects should be completed in 18 months or less.
This notice is subject to availability of funding. The Public Diplomacy Section reserves the right to award less or more than the funds described under circumstances deemed to be in the best interest of the U.S. government, pending the availability of funds and approval of the designated grants officer.
