Description

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This program seeks to engage U.S. government funded exchange program alumni to promote peace and security, economic empowerment, health, and rule of law including combating corruption, through a speaker series, community service projects, and mentorship programs. The program will also strengthen county alumni chapters. The implementing partner will call on alumni to join the speaker series and develop mentorship programs in locations where the Embassy has American Spaces - Nairobi, Nakuru, Mombasa, Lamu and Kisumu. The selected partner will also launch a competition among U.S. government alumni to carry our community service projects along the Kenyan coast. The implementing partner will fund the top 5 to 10 projects in consultation with the Embassy.
