The U.S./Afghanistan Professional Partnership Program: In his December 1, 2009, speech in West Point, New York, President Obama said that a new diplomatic initiative in Afghanistan would be part of the U.S. strategy to bring peace and stability in the Afghanistan/Pakistan region. As part of this initiative, ECA is seeking proposals for a new program, called "The U.S./Afghanistan Professional Partnership Program." This program will bring young professionals from the two countries together to develop cross cultural relationships and develop professional skills that will positively impact people's lives and will result in stronger ties between the two nations. Pending availability of funds, the Bureau expects to award one grant for approximately $1,200,000. The project is focused on professionals working in the judicial system and public administration and will be designed to demonstrate best practices, offer professional development opportunities, and support internships at U.S-based workplaces for Afghan professionals. The program will involve provincial and district (state, local) public administration officials, district attorney offices, legal aid offices, case workers, and judges where possible.
