Grant Description

The U.S. Consulate General in Basrah invites eligible organizations to submit proposals to assist in the development and implementation of a youth-focused entrepreneurship and mentoring program in Basrah province. U.S. Consulate General Basrah seeks to engage local Basrah youth (ages 19-22) in developing a network of self-starters who demonstrate the potential for careers in the private sector and connecting them with like-minded individuals who are employed in the private sector. The goal for this twelve-month Cooperative Agreement is to develop a network of young people, provide them with skills that will increase their employability in the local labor market, and introduce them to Basrah business leaders.
