Description

Program Description The Public Diplomacy Section of the Embassy of the United States of America in Kigali, Rwanda, is pleased to announce an open competition for past participants (“alumni”) of U.S. government-funded and U.S. government-sponsored exchange programs to submit applications to the 2025 Alumni Engagement Innovation Fund (AEIF 2025). We seek proposals from teams of at least two alumni that meet all program eligibility requirements below. Exchange alumni interested in participating in AEIF 2025 should submit proposals by email to KigaliPDGrants@state.gov by March 14, 2025, 11:59 p.m. (GMT+2). Executive Summary The Alumni Engagement Innovation Fund (AEIF) 2025 initiative is a strategic funding opportunity designed to enhance alumni engagement through impactful, public service-oriented projects. These projects leverage the experiences and skills gained from U.S. exchange programs to address pressing global issues and local challenges in Rwanda. By supporting these initiatives, the AEIF aims to strengthen the U.S. government's relationship with exchange alumni and advance shared goals. The AEIF 2025 initiative is a testament to our commitment to fostering mutual understanding and collaboration between the people of Rwanda and the United States. Goals and Objectives AEIF 2025 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 2025 will support United States’ commitment to increase economic growth and strengthen human capital and to promote democracy, good governance, and rule of law.
