The U.S. Embassy Bishkek Public Diplomacy Section is seeking proposals to manage and enhance the American Corners network across six locations in the Kyrgyz Republic—Bishkek, Kant, Naryn, Karakol, Manas, and Osh—serving approximately 200,000 visitors annually. This initiative aims to strengthen people-to-people ties between the United States and Kyrgyzstan by promoting American innovation, culture, and educational opportunities, particularly in the context of the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence. The selected entity will provide strategic direction, administrative oversight, and resource support to ensure these centers offer free, reliable internet access, upgraded facilities, and dynamic programming focused on English language learning through conversation clubs, STEM education via hands-on workshops and mobile makerspaces, and cultural exchange events featuring American speakers and perspectives. The program targets emerging voices aged 14 to 30, including university students, young professionals, entrepreneurs, and educators, as well as secondary school students aged 12 to 18 in rural communities with limited access to educational resources. It also engages established opinion leaders and teachers to amplify reach and impact. A key component is increasing accessibility in line with the Americans with Disabilities Act, ensuring that people with disabilities have equitable access to information and programming. The initiative will deepen partnerships with local educational institutions, foster long-term engagement with American educational and technological platforms, and reinforce core American values such as free speech and innovation. By elevating the profile of the American Corners as premier hubs for knowledge and cultural exchange, the program seeks to position the United States as the preferred partner for educational, cultural, and technological collaboration in Kyrgyzstan. Proposals must be submitted by August 7, 2026, and inquiries should be directed to the designated point of contact at bishkekprojectproposals@state.gov.

Full Description
The U.S. Department of State's Embassy Bishkek Public Diplomacy Section (PDS) announces an open competition to implement a program supporting the American Corners network in the Kyrgyz Republic—the U.S. government's primary information and cultural centers. They showcase American innovation to foreign audiences and promote demand for U.S. products and services, particularly as the United States celebrates the 250th anniversary of its founding.
The program will provide strategic guidance, administrative oversight, and resource support to the network of six American Corners located in Bishkek, Kant, Naryn, Karakol, Manas, and Osh —serving approximately 200,000 visitors annually. Activities will enhance English language capacity through conversation clubs and educational resources; promote STEM excellence through hands-on workshops and mobile makerspaces; foster cultural exchange through speaker programs and events celebrating the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence; and maintain free, open, and reliable internet connectivity and upgraded facilities to serve as premier platforms for Embassy-driven campaigns.
Target participants include emerging voices aged 14-30 (university students, young professionals, entrepreneurs, and educators), students aged 12-18 in rural areas with limited access to educational resources, and established opinion leaders and teachers who can multiply impact. Kamkor Center initiatives demonstrate American leadership in accessibility through the the Americans with Disabilities Act and promote increased access to information and public spaces by providing tailored resources and programs about the United States to the Kyrgyz public, including people with disabilities.
By focusing on these priorities, this program will create long-term partnership opportunities with educational institutions and foster deeper U.S.-Kyrgyz ties in high-growth sectors. The program will increase engagement with world-leading American educational resources and technological platforms while promoting American values of free speech and innovation. By promoting increased knowledge of American society, culture, and educational and professional opportunities, the program will ensure the United States remains the partner of choice for educational exchange, cultural engagement, and technological innovation in the Kyrgyz Republic.
