Executive Summary: The U.S. Mission Kazakhstan announces an open competition to implement an Alumni Engagement and Outreach Program to recognize longstanding U.S. support for Kazakhstan and the many contributions of USG exchange alumni to Kazakhstan. Additionally, the U.S. Mission would like to support alumni as established opinion leaders in their communities in activities that highlight U.S. culture, efforts on diversity and inclusion, and alumni expertise and experience to local audiences. All proposed programs must include an American element, either through a connection with American experts, organizations, or institutions, usage of American educational/informational resources, or any other activities that promote increased understanding of U.S. policy and perspectives and/or contribute to increased mutual understanding between the people of the United States and people of Kazakhstan.

Designed for alumni of these programs, this funding opportunity invites proposals for projects that strengthen cultural ties between the United States and Kazakhstan through academic and professional programming that highlights shared values and promotes bilateral cooperation.
