gov As the United States commemorates 250 years of independence through the America250 and Freedom250 initiatives, the U.S. Department of State's U.S. Embassy Praia announces an open competition to celebrate this historic milestone while advancing core U.S. foreign policy priorities in Cabo Verde.

This initiative promotes democratic governance, inclusive economic growth, and strengthened bilateral partnerships through interactive programming highlighting American excellence in innovation, education, culture, and democratic institutions.

In alignment with the U.S. Strategy for Sub-Saharan Africa, this program seeks proposals from eligible organizations and individuals to engage youth, emerging leaders, educators, entrepreneurs, and broader Cabo Verdean audiences.

The America250 and Freedom250 commemorations provide a strategic opportunity to explore enduring principles of freedom, civic responsibility, and democratic values—examining how these principles have shaped American democracy for 250 years and their relevance to contemporary challenges including freedom of expression, economic opportunity, digital access, civic participation, and innovation.

Priority areas include technology and innovation, artificial intelligence and digital responsibility, cybersecurity, American culture and history, and youth civic participation. All proposals must include a clear American element, such as collaboration with U.S. experts, institutions, or exchange alumni, or content highlighting U.S. democratic institutions and innovation.
