The U.S. Department of State’s U.S. Consulate General in Lahore announces an open competition for one assistance award through this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), contingent on funding availability, through the Public Diplomacy Grants Program. This project seeks to implement a 15-day exchange program to the United States for at least 10 participants representing digital content creators, targeting youth audiences from Punjab Province, Pakistan. The program will include recruitment and selection of participants, planning and execution of the exchange program in the United States, and implementation of a followon program in Pakistan where participants can share their experiences and knowledge with other digital creators and youth. The follow-on project may be conducted together with a local implementing partner in Pakistan.
