The U.S. Embassy in Lome is offering grants to alumni of U.S. government-sponsored exchange programs. These grants are for projects that help strengthen U.S. national security, promote economic growth, and reinforce the rule of law in Togo. The projects should address issues like unlawful migration, entrepreneurship, energy independence, and countering harmful foreign influence, while also fostering strong ties between the U.S. and Togo.
Who it's for: This grant is for teams of alumni who have participated in U.S. government-sponsored exchange programs. These teams should be interested in creating projects that align with U.S. foreign policy priorities and have a measurable impact in Togo.
