What the grant funds
The Public Diplomacy Section (PDS) of the U.S. Mission to Afghanistan intends to issue an award for a period of at least 12 months to teach English language and personal development skills to a diverse audience of Afghan youth. The programs should take place outside of Afghanistan, in third countries where Afghan refugees are located and should aim for gender-balanced participation. At least one of the programs must be exclusively for girls to ensure diversity and allow a greater overall representation of young women. The overall goal of the program is that young Afghans will receive English language instruction and other development skills in order to better prepare them to work in a global economy and to contribute to their communities.
