Description

The U.S. Embassy Baghdad of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications to carry out a program to develop and implement the Visiting American Professionals Program for Iraq. Through this program, the Public Diplomacy section in 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. 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 2-3 visiting speakers (in-person) to Iraq and 20-24 virtual speakers throughout the 12-month timeframe, depending upon security conditions. Please follow all instructions below. The Visiting American Professionals Program for Iraq will connect U.S. experts (U.S. citizens only) with Iraqi audiences and institutions. This program will recruit American experts to engage with Iraqi audiences in person or virtually through lectures, workshops, and seminars, through appearances in foreign media, and in a consultancy capacity. Speakers will address topics identified by U.S. Mission Iraq. Participating speakers and experts can be programmed with a variety of professional audiences in a wide range of disciplines; however, English language teaching and the performing arts are specifically excluded. Performing artists may participate in programs as speakers or consultants but will not be recruited for performances or exhibitions. In addition, speakers will not teach university courses as part of this program. Mission priority goals include, but are not necessarily limited to: a. Fostering Stability and Economic Growth b. Bolstering Democracy and Governance c. Ensuring Iraq’s Sovereignty and Security
