About this opportunity

The Department of State’s Embassy Gaborone announces an open competition for alumni of government-sponsored exchange programs to submit project proposals for the 2026 Alumni Engagement Innovation Fund (AEIF). This competition seeks projects that position sports as a sustainable driver of economic growth and social inclusion in Botswana. It supports foreign policy priorities by promoting shared prosperity through people-to-people engagement, aligned with the Freedom 250 initiative commemorating 250 years of American independence. The 2026 AEIF call for proposals aims to strengthen the sustainability of Botswana’s sports organizations; develop effective business models and fundraising strategies; enhance event management capacity; support athletes in preparing for post-sports careers; and foster international partnerships, especially with collegiate and professional teams. The intended program targets sports federation and club young athletes across Botswana who seek to build professional skills and organizational capacity. Eligible applicants are alumni of government exchange programs with the experience and networks to lead impactful projects. Experience in sports or their administration is an added advantage.
