Additional Information

Agency Name: U.S. Mission to Iraq
Description: SUMMARY

The U.S. Embassy in Baghdad invites eligible organizations to submit proposals to develop and implement the 2015-2016 English for Mission Contacts Program, hereafter known as the EFMC program. The EFMC program supports U.S. Mission and Strategic Framework Agreement goals by enhancing cooperation with Iraqi contacts and improving their capacity to communicate in English. Students in the EFMC program are important Iraqi interlocutors (not Embassy employees) with whom the nominating office has regular contact and who desire to improve their English language skills. Subject to the availability of funds, the Embassy expects to award one cooperative agreement for up to $ 300,000.00 to the selected program implementer to carry out the EFMC program.
GOALS
Through this English Language program, the U.S. Mission in Iraq seeks to provide Iraqi interlocutors and contacts with high quality English language courses, enabling them to improve their English skills and develop professionally. The program seeks to be as responsive as possible to the differing skill levels and professional needs of contacts who request to be nominated to participate. This program will enhance U.S. Mission cooperation with Iraqi interlocutors and our communication with them, now and in the future.
