This may be accomplished through virtual and regional conferences, mentorship, networking, training and educational opportunities, alumni-led activities, small grants program for activities designed and implemented by Alumni in Afghanistan and within the diaspora communities. This should occur through the management of a strategic schedule of initiatives. PDS intends to issue an award for a period of at least 24 months.
