## What the grant funds

The U.S. Embassy Buenos Aires announces an open competition to strengthen civic leadership, good governance, and institutional resilience across Argentina. This program will organize a national cross-sector Alumni Summit to equip emerging leaders from the public, academic, and non-governmental organization (NGO) sectors with practical tools, strategic insights, and ethical frameworks regarding innovation, emerging technologies, and the responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to address institutional and societal challenges. Applicants are encouraged to propose scalable models and sustainable partnerships that can extend program impact beyond the initial funding period. 1. Project Background, Goals, and Objectives Rapidly evolving digital technologies are transforming governance, civic spaces, and public administration. However, navigating these shifts requires robust democratic leadership, transparency, and strategic frameworks to protect open information environments. Argentina's exchange alumni network represents a high-potential, multi-sector human network. While there is strong interest across public and civil society institutions in leveraging technological innovation, leaders require deeper exposure to secure, transparent, and ethical approaches to emerging technologies aligned with U.S. civic values. By building a high-value professional pipeline, this initiative provides a trust-based alternative to the transactional outreach of strategic competitors, reinforcing long-term bilateral collaboration and institutional excellence across Argentina's provinces. Project Audience(s): Primary beneficiaries must be alumni of U.S. government-sponsored exchange programs (including, but not limited to, YLAI, IVLP, Access, and Fulbright) residing in Argentina who represent: • Public sector officials and municipal administrators. • Academic researchers, faculty, and university leadership. • Civil society practitioners and non-governmental organization (NGO) leaders. • Private sector. Applicants should clearly describe participant recruitment and selection, prioritizing geographical diversity across Argentina's provinces.
