The objectives of the Public Diplomacy Grant Program are to promote positive relations between the people of Uganda and the United States; reinforce shared values; and connect Uganda’s emerging leaders (aged 16 to 35) to the American people through projects that:

  •  Help Ugandan youth, especially young women, explore and discover their potential through innovative science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM,) programs, as well as entrepreneurship programs.
  •  Encourage Ugandan youth to participate in civic life through social entrepreneurship, volunteerism, and community engagement.
  •  Strengthen understanding of U.S. values and institutions; highlight U.S. culture, including American Studies; and support diversity, acceptance of minority groups, and other areas of mutual interest.
  •  Demonstrate the power of the arts to promote positive self-expression, social change, and economic opportunity.
  •  Promote the application of new technologies to address economic, environmental, and social challenges of shared concern.
