Description

The Public Diplomacy section of the U.S. Mission in Nigeria announces a limited competition for the Alumni Engagement Innovation Fund (AEIF). AEIF provides funding for alumni of U.S. government-sponsored and facilitated exchange programs to apply the skills gained during their exchanges and implement innovative solutions to global challenges in their communities. Since 2011, AEIF has supported nearly 500 alumni-led projects worldwide through a competitive process. This year, in recognition of America’s 250th anniversary (Freedom 250), all projects must celebrate this milestone and highlight the United States’ commitment to a safer, stronger, and more prosperous nation while showcasing American excellence. Projects should: honor U.S. Values, Patriotism, and Global Contributions, Promote Global Understanding of U.S. Founding Principles, and Inspire the Next 250 Years of U.S. Leadership and Innovation. Project can include events separate from celebrating Independence Day.
