## What the grant funds

In 2022, the United States and Latvia celebrated 100 years of diplomatic relations. The U.S.-Latvia partnership has endured through the challenges of the last century, including the brutal and illegal Soviet occupation, which the United States never recognized. When Latvia reclaimed its independence, the United States was proud to support Latvian efforts to rebuild its institutions and economy, and to help secure freedoms and prosperity through membership in NATO and the EU. Today, the United States and Latvia are strategic partners, committed to defending our achievements and ensuring that future generations will have the same personal liberties, human rights, and economic freedoms that we enjoy. Looking to the future, our alliance faces new challenges: disinformation; hybrid attacks; transnational corruption and crime; climate change; and social divisions that threaten our stability and security. The Embassy seeks alumni projects that will help our alliance adapt and be resilient to the challenges posed by these complex issues and result in an even stronger U.S.-Latvia partnership. We invite our alumni to submit a project that will advance this vision. We seek proposals from teams of at least two alumni that meet all program eligibility requirements below. Exchange alumni interested in participating in AEIF 2023 should submit proposals to embassyriga@state.gov by February 15, 2023.
