What the grant funds

This program supports NGO and academic institution efforts to connect U.S. experts (U.S. citizens only) with audiences and institutions in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) to organize visits to BiH focused on topics related to the rule of law, anti-corruption, promoting citizen political participation, promoting civil society, modernizing education, entrepreneurship, investigative journalism, countering disinformation, media literacy, countering gender-based violence, supporting vulnerable populations, and countering violent extremism. The U.S. Speaker and Specialist Grants Program will bring American experts to Bosnia and Herzegovina to engage audiences through lectures, workshops, and seminars; through appearances in foreign media; and in a consultancy capacity. The U.S. Speaker and Specialist Grants Program will promote an understanding of U.S. strategic priorities, policies, and institutions, and build linkages between experts and institutions in the United States and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
