Opportunity description

The Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs’ Office of Assistance Coordination (NEA/AC) of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for organizations to submit a statement of interest (SOI) for innovative foreign assistance programs benefitting partner countries that also advance U.S. commercial diplomacy and place American interests first. SOI must demonstrate how projects will leverage foreign assistance for U.S. partners as a tool of statecraft to advance U.S. economic, security, and diplomatic objectives. Programming should promote trade, not aid, by leveraging assistance resources to champion American enterprise and infrastructure and catalyze private capital through market principles.
