Opportunity Information: Apply for PDS BUJUMBURA FY23 02
The Alumni Engagement Innovation Fund (AEIF) 2023 is a U.S. Department of State grant opportunity offered through the U.S. Embassy in Bujumbura for alumni of U.S. government-funded or U.S. government-sponsored exchange programs. The program is set up as an open competition where eligible exchange alumni form teams of at least two people and propose a public service project that responds to real needs in their communities. The overall idea is to help alumni build on the skills, relationships, and experience they gained during their exchange and turn that momentum into a practical, locally led project with measurable impact.
AEIF has been running globally since 2011 and has supported nearly 500 alumni-led projects worldwide, which signals that this is a well-established mechanism for turning alumni networks into community problem-solvers. For the Burundi-focused AEIF 2023 call, the Embassy is specifically looking for projects that align with three broad U.S. commitment areas: strengthening Burundian systems for health and education (Goal 1: Invest in People), helping lay the groundwork for a stronger economy (Goal 2: Invest in the Economy), and supporting a peaceful, open, and stable Burundi at home and in the region (Goal 3: Invest in Society and the Region). In practice, that means proposals should clearly connect their activities and expected outcomes to at least one of these themes, and ideally show how the alumni team is uniquely positioned to deliver results because of their exchange experience.
In terms of funding, awards are expected to range from USD 5,000 to USD 35,000, with an award ceiling of USD 35,000. The funding instrument may take the form of a grant, a fixed amount award, or a cooperative agreement. A cooperative agreement differs from a standard grant mainly in the level of involvement from U.S. government staff during implementation; in cooperative agreements, embassy or bureau staff typically play a more active role in supporting or guiding aspects of the project as it is carried out. The opportunity is listed as discretionary funding under CFDA 19.022, and the funding type is noted as Fulbright-Hayes. The anticipated performance period is relatively short and action-oriented: proposed programs are expected to be completed within one year or less, which encourages proposals that are feasible, clearly scoped, and ready to implement.
Key administrative details are straightforward. The opportunity was posted on February 27, 2023, and applications were due by March 28, 2023. Alumni teams were instructed to submit their proposals directly to the Embassy via email at BurundiPublicAffairs@state.gov by the deadline. The opportunity is issued by the Department of State, U.S. Mission to Burundi, under the funding opportunity number PDS BUJUMBURA FY23 02. Overall, AEIF 2023 in Burundi is essentially a competitive small-grants program aimed at mobilizing U.S. exchange alumni to design and run innovative, community-serving projects that fit within the Embassy's priority goals for people, the economy, and stability in society and the region.Apply for PDS BUJUMBURA FY23 02
