This grant, offered by the Public Affairs Section of U.S. Embassy Dakar, is for the purpose of strengthening and fostering new academic collaborations between U.S. and African universities. It invites proposals for programs that will primarily engage Senegalese and Bissau Guinean audiences and participants, with activities conducted across Senegal, Guinea Bissau, and the United States. The central aim is to enhance existing university partnerships and cultivate new ones, promoting robust educational and cultural exchange. A critical component of successful proposals will be a clear strategy demonstrating how these institutional relationships will be sustained and continue to thrive autonomously, long after the U.S. government funding concludes. This strategic initiative seeks to build enduring educational ties that mutually benefit American and African academic communities.
