Rural Youth Development: The Public Affairs Section (PAS) of the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan announces an open competition for an assistance award to establish a rural youth development program, preferably within pre-existing youth associations or schools, to provide boys and girls ages 10-19 with opportunities for leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education. The program will draw on the expertise of technical experts in Afghan ministries, universities, and other relevant organizations. It will be tailored to individual communities and include agricultural science education, incorporate leadership training, and include experiences such as field trips, competitions (e.g. fairs), linkages to markets, volunteer opportunities, mentorship, and interaction with peers through established group meetings. A cadre of mentors and volunteers should be developed and may include successful local farmers, cooperative extension agents, provincial officials, and others. This program will begin with a pilot project and only after PAS approval will the rest of the project continue.
PAS intends to issue an award for a period of 24 months (base period) with an option for one additional 12 month period (option year one).
