The U.S. Department of State’s Embassy Bujumbura announces an open competition to implement a program to support U.S. policy objectives and promote shared interests. Projects must promote Freedom250 and align with policy goals such as making the United States safer, stronger, and more prosperous. Specifically, the projects should showcase American leadership and excellence in sports-particularly in Basketball, and health, notably by celebrating American sports excellence during the American decade of sports. The target audience should be youth and young professionals aged 15-35 representing emerging voices, as well as opinion leaders to convey information and reach the broader population. The program shall pursue four core goals: advancing U.S. public diplomacy, strengthening people-to-people ties, capitalizing on the Decade of Sport, and promoting physical and mental health. Together, these efforts will position Sports as a catalyst for goodwill, cultural exchange, and community well-being.
