Tech Camps are a public diplomacy program hosted in the Bureau of International Information Programs (IIP) at the U. S. Department of State and will follow guidelines from IIP.
They are hands-on, participant-driven workshops that connect private sector technology experts with key populations to explore and apply innovative tech solutions to global issues.
Tech Camps are focused on results, with participants identifying real-world challenges and working in partnership with trainers to apply technology solutions to these challenges.
Each Tech Camp also includes ongoing impact-oriented programs and efforts to help participants implement their projects post-workshop and stay connected and engaged with each other, their trainers, and Public Affairs Section staff in Pakistan.
The purpose of this project is to provide logistical support for a series of up to four (4) three (3)-day Tech Camps that will connect civil society actors and other public influencers with subject matter experts and technologists with the aim to enhance their digital media skills and strategies and to expand their organization’s capabilities.

The CEO and IIP will identify participants, experts and content for the Tech Camps.
