U.S. Embassy Rangoon Public Affairs Small Grants Competition
The U. S. Embassy Rangoon of the U. S. Department of State announces an open competition for organizations or individuals to submit a statement of interest (SOI) to carry out a program (or programs) to strengthen the cultural ties between the U. S. and Myanmar through cultural programming that highlights
shared values and promotes bilateral cooperation.
All programs must include an American cultural element, or connection with American expert/s, organization/s, or institution/s in a specific field that will promote increased understanding of U. S. policy and perspectives.
