Synopsis
The U.S. Embassy in Mozambique announces an open competition for past participants (“alumni”) of U.S. government-funded, and U.S. government-sponsored exchange programs, to submit applications for the 2026 Alumni Engagement Innovation Fund (AEIF 2026). We seek proposals from teams of at least two alumni that meet all program eligibility requirements.
AEIF 2026 Projects should commemorate America's 250th anniversary (Freedom 250), and highlight the United States’ commitment to a safer, stronger, and more prosperous nation while showcasing American Excellence.
Project initiatives should focus on economic growth, mutual trade benefits, and promotion of shared interests between the United States and Mozambique in one or more of the following areas: business, technology, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, agriculture, critical minerals, education, arts and culture.

- Individuals
- Others (see text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility" for clarification)
• Applicants must be alumni of a U.S. government-funded or sponsored exchange program • Projects teams must include at least two (2) alumni. • Alumni who are U.S. citizens may not submit proposals, but U.S. citizen alumni may participate as team members in a project.• Alumni teams may be comprised of alumni from different exchange programs and different countries. • Applications must be submitted by exchange alumni or alumni associations of USG exchange alumni. No other organizations are eligible to apply. Exchange alumni can partner with not-for-profit or non-governmental organizations, think tanks, and academic institutions to implement project activities.
