## What the grant funds

A. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The U.S. Embassy Dushanbe announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications to carry out a program to provide logistical management of a network of alumni of U.S. government (USG) programs and implement the Democracy Outreach Alumni Grant Program in Tajikistan. Please follow all instructions below. Priority Region: Tajikistan Program Background: The U.S. Alumni Network in Tajikistan (USANT) is a program funded by the U.S. Embassy Public Diplomacy Section in Dushanbe to provide logistical management of a network of alumni of U.S. government (USG) programs in Tajikistan. USANT was created in 2019 with the goal of supporting and strengthening the USG alumni community to build upon the shared intellectual, social, cultural, and democratic values of the people of Tajikistan and the United States. The most significant result of the USANT project to date is creating a community among U.S. government exchange program alumni across all four regions of Tajikistan. Alumni have demonstrated high interest and desire to be part of the USANT community and actively participate in network activities. USANT’s accomplishments over the last four years: · Established a national organization with eight elected board members, created an active online platform, and established four regional chapters throughout Tajikistan. · Conducted annual regional USANT conferences in each of the four chapters. · Conducted community-based initiatives, professional trainings, webinars, and mentorship programs. · Issued 44 USANT alumni mini grants and 16 Democracy Outreach Alumni Grants. PDS will develop a project handover protocol in cooperation with the current implementer and any new implementer to insure a smooth and transparent transition process. Program Goal: Implement and manage a network of alumni from U.S. government exchange programs to empower them to use their learned knowledge, skills, and perspectives to educate others and affect positive change in their communities. Program Objectives: The objectives of the USANT program are to: 1. Increase engagement and communication between over 5,000 U.S. government exchange program alumni through a network. 2. Build career and leadership skills of alumni and their colleagues through professional development opportunities. 3. Sustain continued interaction and communication between the U.S. Embassy and alumni. 4.
