The Embassy of the United States in Bujumbura announces an open competition for past participants (“alumni”) of U.S. government-funded and U.S. government-sponsored exchange programs to submit applications to the 2023 Alumni Engagement Innovation Fund (AEIF 2023). We seek proposals from teams of at least two (2) alumni that meet all program eligibility requirements below. Exchange alumni interested in participating in AEIF 2023 should submit proposals to BurundiPublicAffairs@state.gov by March 28, 2023. A. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION AEIF provides alumni of U.S. government-sponsored and facilitated exchange programs with funding to expand on skills gained during their exchange experience to design and implement innovative solutions to global challenges facing their community. Since its inception in 2011, AEIF has funded nearly 500 alumni-led projects around the world through a competitive global competition. This year, AEIF 2023 will support United States’ commitment to: · Goal 1: Invest in People: Burundian systems for health and education are strengthened. · Goal 2: Invest in the Economy: The foundation for a stronger Burundian economy is created. · Goal 3: Invest in Society and the Region: Burundi is a peaceful, open, and stable actor at home and in the region.
