Description
1) Objective
The Public Diplomacy (PD) section of the U.S. Embassy Zimbabwe under the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for programs for creative entrepreneurs to realize their full economic potential and build connections with their U.S. counterparts. The PD section invites proposals from non-profit organizations, civil society organizations, and U.S. government alumni to design and implement a creative entrepreneurship program that increases the use of digital technology, improves business acumen, and celebrates cultural heritage, identity and diversity. The program should expand opportunities to develop institutional capacity, promote financial sustainability of creative and cultural organizations; and build networks of independent creative and cultural organizations to make the sector more profitable for its diverse members.
A compulsory component of all program proposals is to build ties and relationships between the United States and Zimbabwe.

Indications of targeted artists and partners are sufficient for shortlisting.
