Investing in the Liberated Universities of Ninewa: The U.S. Embassy in Baghdad invites eligible organizations to submit proposals to restore and revitalize the Universities of Mosul, Ninewa, and Hamdaniya. Iraq's minority communities were victims of extreme violence and genocide in the areas around Mosul and the Ninewah Plain, and there is a critical need to restore basic operations at the above-mentioned universities. Under the Strategic Framework Agreement (SFA) between the Governments of Iraq and the United States of America, education, exchanges, and research collaboration are key pillars of mutual cooperation. The U.S. Mission in Iraq, including the Embassy in Baghdad and its Consulates General in Basrah and Erbil, supports the SFA through academic initiatives that promote human and technical capacity building inside Iraq, bolster long-term stability, develop the next generation of leaders, and support Iraq's integration into the global academic community. The U.S. Embassy is soliciting grant proposals of up to $15 million to develop and execute a two-year project to build the capacity of the Universities of Mosul, Ninewa, and Hamdaniya to provide educational and economic opportunities to affected populations. Proposals should include a plan to work with each university to develop a needs assessment, in addition to capacity building programs, linkages with American universities, curricula that focus on preparing students to meet the needs of the Iraqi economy, and the purchase of related equipment and educational materials. Proposals should also include faculty exchange programs to foster collaboration and information sharing with American partner universities, as well as the development of English language education.
