PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The U.S. Embassy in Kuwait announces an open competition for organizations or individuals to submit a statement of interest (SOI) to carry out a program (or programs) to the Public Affairs section at the U.S. Embassy Kuwait.

The purpose of the SOI process is to allow applicants to submit program ideas for evaluation prior to requiring the development of a full proposal application. Upon a merit review of eligible SOIs, selected applicants will be invited to expand on their program idea(s) by submitting a full proposal application. Full proposals will go through a second merit review before final funding decision are made. Program Objectives: Grant proposals must be less than $25,000 each and seek to achieve one or more of the following goals: 1. Prepare and encourage students in Kuwait to attend U.S. universities, whether through English or college readiness training, college advising, or other means; 2. Increase local capacity to counter discrimination, harassment, and abuse against women; 3. Strengthen efforts to raise awareness of and combat trafficking in persons; 4. Improve the ability of institutions in Kuwait to prepare for and respond to cybersecurity incidents; 5. Promote people-to-people ties between the United States and Kuwait through educational, cultural, or civic activities that engage youth and young professionals in Kuwait; or 6. Strengthen the ability of marginalized communities, youth, and women to participate fully in the political process and the economy.
