This grant is for the purpose of funding two Youth Leadership Programs in Sub-Saharan Africa, offered by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. One program targets 40 participants from Anglophone countries (Nigeria, Tanzania, Kenya, South Africa), while the other is for 60 participants from Francophone nations (Burkina Faso, Chad, Cote D’Ivoire, Mali, Mauritania, Niger). Eligible public and private non-profit 501(c)(3) organizations are invited to propose U.S.-based, three-week exchange projects. These projects will immerse participants in civic education, leadership development, diversity awareness, and community activism. The ultimate goal is to empower participants to return home and implement impactful follow-up activities addressing community needs.
