U.S. Mission to Iraq

Description

U.S. Mission Iraq announces an open competition for eligible organizations to submit proposals for a cooperative agreement to develop and implement the Visiting American Professionals Program for Iraq. Through this program, the Public Diplomacy Office (PD) in Baghdad seeks to enable U.S. experts to engage with Iraqi audiences, in person and via virtual platforms, on a variety of topics in accordance with Mission Iraq goals. The Visiting American Professionals Program for Iraq will promote an understanding of U.S. strategic priorities, policies, and institutions, as well as build linkages between U.S and Iraqi experts and institutions. Proposals should be developed to include programmatic events for 1-2 visiting speakers (in-person) to Iraq and 24-36 virtual speakers throughout the 16-month timeframe, depending upon security conditions. Subject to the availability of funds, the Embassy expects to award a grant up to $350,000.00 to carry out the Visiting American Professionals Program over a sixteenth-month time frame.
