Description

Executive Summary: The U.S. Embassy Colombo, Public Diplomacy Section (PDS) is pleased to announce a funding opportunity through the Public Diplomacy grants program to support participation of Sri Lankans in regional and other international exchange and learning opportunities. Please follow all instructions below. Background: U.S. Embassy Colombo supports a variety of exchange and learning opportunities for Sri Lankans to foster skills and capacity in areas of leadership, community engagement, civic discourse, entrepreneurship media, social media, and technology. Some examples include the Everest International Model United Nations, Tech Camp, and Women in Science STEAM Camp. Funded and organized by the U.S. Embassy, these exchanges will occur within the South Asia region, and are estimated to include between 15 and 25 individuals. Final participant numbers and the locations of their exchanges will be finalized in late 2024 through 2025. To best expand our exchange and learning opportunities, PDS Colombo is seeking an implementing partner (through a Cooperative Agreement; with significant Public Diplomacy Section input and assistance) to administratively support participant selection and to take the lead on administrative tasks associated with travel in consultation with PDS Colombo for the several anticipated exchange and learning opportunities in late 2024 through 2025.
