Description

The U.S. Mission in Iraq announces an open competition for eligible organizations to submit proposals for a cooperative agreement to develop and implement the Visiting American Professionals Program for Iraq. Public Affairs Section (PAS) Baghdad seeks to enable U.S. experts to engage with Iraqi audiences, in person and via virtual platforms, on a variety of topics in accordance with Mission Iraq goals through this program. The Visiting American Professionals Program for Iraq will promote an understanding of U.S. strategic priorities, policies, and institutions, as well as build linkages between U.S and Iraqi experts and institutions. Proposals should be developed to include programmatic events for 8-10 visiting speakers to Iraq and 10-15 virtual speakers throughout the 12-month timeframe. Subject to the availability of funds, the Embassy expects to award one cooperative agreement up to $350,000 to carry out the Visiting American Professionals Program for Iraq.
