1. Executive Summary The U.S. Embassy Burkina Faso announces an open competition for past participants (โalumniโ) of U.S. government-funded and U.S. government-sponsored exchange programs to submit applications to the 2026 Alumni Engagement Innovation Fund (2026 AEIF). We seek proposals from teams of at least two alumni that meet all program eligibility requirements below.

Pending availability of funds, the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) will review and recommend proposals for funding on a yearly basis. Exchange alumni interested in participating in the 2026 AEIF should submit proposals to OuagaPDCultural@state.gov by April 20, 2026. Please follow all instructions below.
