Synopsis
The Department of State, U.S. Embassy Eswatini, Public Diplomacy Section (PDS) is pleased to announce the roll-out of the 2025 Alumni Engagement Innovation Fund (AEIF). The AEIF is an annual funding opportunity designed to invest in U.S. government-funded exchange participants and programs by helping alumni develop and implement projects that promote shared interests and policy objectives and benefit local communities. We invite you to submit a Statement of Interest (SOI) of no more than two pages by January 15, 2025 for projects that meet the requirements of the program (discussed in Section C below). Applicants with competitive SOIs will subsequently be notified and invited to submit full grant applications.
Who can apply
