## What the grant funds

The U.S. Embassy, Baghdad / Bureau of NEA of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications to carry out a program to integrate solar energy to develop modern irrigation techniques. This project will aim to revolutionize irrigation in Iraq by introducing solar-powered drip irrigation systems. The project will consist of in-person or virtual training sessions and workshops for undergraduates and graduates specializing in agriculture and water resources management, entrepreneurs, and technical staff from the ministries of agriculture and water resources.
