## What the grant funds

U.S. Embassy Abidjan’s Public Diplomacy Section is seeking proposals to implement a workforce development and skills-building program through its network of American Spaces. This program aims to build a pipeline of skilled, English-capable Ivoirian youth who can support4U.S. trade, investment, and innovation partnerships while expanding economic opportunity and stability in Côte d’Ivoire. The project will target university students, educators, and early-career professionals (ages 17–40) in key cities including Abidjan, Yamoussoukro, Bouaké, and Korhogo. Activities will focus on strengthening employability skills, expanding English proficiency, and developing practical technology skills in areas such as artificial intelligence, coding, and entrepreneurship. The program will also increase engagement with U.S. institutions, experts, and private sector partners. Aligned with U.S. foreign policy priorities, including the Freedom 250 yearlong celebration of the 250th anniversary of the United States, this program will incorporate activities that showcase American leadership, innovation, and commitment to freedom. By equipping participants with market-relevant skills and connecting them to U.S. networks, the program will expand opportunities for American businesses, strengthen commercial ties, and contribute to long-term stability by addressing drivers of irregular migration while inspiring the next generation to partner with the United States.
