Egypt Annual Program Statement

The Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs’ Office of Assistance Coordination (NEA/AC) seeks proposals for projects in Egypt that advance U.S. commercial diplomacy and put American interests first. Proposals must demonstrate how projects will leverage assistance 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. Proposals may address sectors including: energy development and exports; trade facilitation; emerging technologies (particularly AI and telecommunications); critical infrastructure (aviation, transport); critical minerals; regional economic integration; advanced manufacturing; workforce training aligned with U.S. business needs; and economic recovery in conflict-affected areas. Projects should orient implementing partners toward the American business community, foster burden-sharing, and demonstrate how they will help U.S. businesses secure foreign contracts and tenders for key projects. Review country-specific guidance in the sections below and tailor your proposal to address identified priorities. NEA/AC may decide to grant multiple awards, one award, or no awards, subject to funding availability and proposal viability.
