Freedom250 Advancing U.S. Artificial Intelligence Leadership in AlgeriaEligible applicants for this funding opportunity include not-for-profit organizations, public and private educational institutions, and public international or governmental entities, with the restriction that for-profit entities are ineligible even if they fall into these categories. Only one non-profit, non-governmental organization may serve as the prime recipient, though subcontracting with other entities is permitted provided responsibilities are clearly defined. Applicants must possess a Unique Entity Identifier from SAM.gov and maintain valid registration, though individuals are exempt from this requirement. Cost sharing is encouraged but not mandatory, and each organization may submit only one proposal; multiple submissions will result in disqualification. The funding explicitly excludes partisan political activities, charitable or humanitarian services, construction, religious activities, fundraising, lobbying, scientific research, commercial ventures, organizational growth initiatives, duplicative efforts, and illegal activities. The program, titled Freedom250 Advancing U.S. Artificial Intelligence Leadership in Algeria, aims to strengthen U.S.-Algeria technological partnerships by delivering hands-on training in American AI tools, standards, and ethical governance frameworks to at least 150 participants across five Algerian cities—Algiers, Bechar, Constantine, Oran, and Ouargla. Target beneficiaries include university students in technology and education fields, educators, entrepreneurs, and community leaders, all selected for their potential to multiply impact within their institutions and communities. The initiative seeks to embed U.S.-aligned AI practices into Algeria’s emerging tech ecosystem by achieving measurable outcomes including a 30% improvement in participant knowledge, the development of practical outputs such as prompt libraries and localized AI applications, the training of at least 10 local facilitators to sustain the program beyond the initial funding period, and the establishment of an enduring alumni community with at least 60% engagement six months post-completion. The effort builds on prior U.S. Mission to Algeria successes, including engagement with government ministries and demonstrated interest from educators, and emphasizes sustainability, practical application, and cultural adaptability, with programming designed to operate effectively in both in-person and virtual formats through the network of American Spaces. The solicitation opens on July 9, 2026, with proposals due by August 10, 2026, and is issued under solicitation number PAS-ALG-FY26-02 by the U.S. Department of State through the U.S. Mission to Algeria.
