Call for Proposals to Make America and the Region Safer, Stronger, and More Prosperous

The Public Diplomacy Section invites proposals for projects that make America and the region safer, stronger, and more prosperous. All project requests must include a Freedom 250 component. The Freedom 250 Initiative is part of the celebration of the 250th anniversary of America’s founding. Activities under this initiative should be either cultural or educational, or a connection with American experts, organizations, or institutions, to promote greater understanding of U.S. policy, perspectives, and American excellence. Activities should be carried out in collaboration or coordination with the U.S. Embassy Guatemala’s Public Diplomacy Section (PDS). These activities should celebrate American excellence, and reinforce that the United States remains a trusted, dynamic partner. Priority Program Areas/Goals : Proposals should focus on one or more of the priority outcomes, but applicants may also recommend their own objective. Goal 1. Countering CCP Malign Influence to Protect U.S. Strategic and Economic Interests. Goal 2. Countering Transnational Criminal Organizations (TCOs) to Protect American and Guatemalan Communities and Strengthen the Rule of Law in Guatemala. Goal 3. Ending Illegal Immigration by Building Economic Opportunity. Goal 4. Expanding U.S. Business Presence and Market Access in Guatemala to Grow American Prosperity.
