Executive Summary 

The U.S. Department of State’s Consulate General in Almaty, Kazakhstan announces an open competition to implement a program for the design and execution of two projects: Access Alumni Outreach and Engagement and English Access Scholarship Program (Access) for the 2026-2028 cycle. This program will reach two audiences in South Kazakhstan: up to 300 Access Program alumni (ages 16–30, cohorts 2016–2026) across Shymkent, Kyzylorda, Taraz, Turkistan, and Almaty, and 32 new Access students (ages 13–15, 2026–2028 cohort) from the Shymkent or Taraz areas. 

 

For alumni, the 12-months program re-engages graduates through sustained activities that strengthen English, expand knowledge of U.S. history, culture, and Freedom 250 themes, and build professional networks across five cities. 

For new students, a 20-month intensive English curriculum targets measurable proficiency gains, increased awareness of U.S. culture and values, and direct pathways to U.S. government-sponsored exchange and scholarship opportunities. 

 

Both tracks advance U.S. foreign policy by cultivating English-proficient, U.S.-engaged youth leaders in a strategically important region of Central Asia, while sustaining long-term people-to-people ties through a growing network of Access alumni serving as community connectors and future exchange candidates.

English Language Teaching Services ProgramThe U.S. Embassy Djibouti’s Public Diplomacy Section is seeking non-profit organizations, educational institutions, and NGOs to implement an English Language Teaching Services Program under the solicitation PAS-DJI-FY2026-ELT, with a single award ceiling of $50,000. The program aims to enhance practical English communication skills among Djiboutian youth, educators, entrepreneurs, civil servants, and emerging professionals, fostering workforce readiness, leadership, entrepreneurship, and deeper understanding of American society and educational systems. Implementation must occur entirely within Djibouti, targeting both urban centers and underserved communities, with activities concluding within six to twelve months of the anticipated October 2026 start date. Proposals must align with U.S. public diplomacy goals by strengthening people-to-people ties and expanding equitable access to quality English instruction across the country. Eligible applicants must be registered in SAM.gov with an active Unique Entity Identifier, demonstrate non-profit status through official documentation, and submit a five-page narrative proposal alongside mandatory SF-424, SF-424A, and SF-424B forms. Supporting materials include one-page resumes or position descriptions for key personnel, signed letters of support from partners, and, if applicable, a Negotiated Indirect Cost Rate Agreement and proof of registration. Applications must be emailed to djiboutipdsubmissions@state.gov with a specified subject line and are due by July 15, 2026, at 11:59 p.m., with no submission through Grants.gov permitted. Proposals will be evaluated on a 60-point scale prioritizing organizational capacity and past grant performance (25 points), followed by project planning and feasibility (20 points), budget reasonableness and detail (10 points), monitoring and evaluation design (10 points), and sustainability planning (5 points). Awards will be made through a trade-off process where technical merit outweighs cost, and tie-breakers favor applicants with lower indirect cost rates. High-risk recipients, determined by financial stability, audit history, or prior performance issues, will face enhanced oversight including monthly narrative reports, quarterly financial submissions, withholding of up to 10% of funds until final reporting, electronic salary disbursement, and mandatory submission of supporting documentation upon request. All awarded projects must adhere to U.S. Department of State branding guidelines, prominently displaying the Freedom 250 logo, and comply with 2 CFR Part 200, including
