What the grant funds

The U.S. Department of State’s Public Diplomacy Section (PDS) at U.S. Mission to Yemen announces an open competition for programs that advance U.S. priorities by making America stronger through English language education and leadership development that exposes Yemeni youth and professionals to American experts as role models and encourages partnerships with U.S. educational institutions; safer through countering adversarial influence and strengthening fact-based reporting that supports independent journalism and builds resilience against false narratives; and more prosperous by creating pathways for educational and professional engagement between Yemen and the United States through building practical digital and professional skills for media practitioners. All programs must include connections with American experts, organizations, or institutions.
