U.S. Embassy Kigali, Rwanda announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications to carry out cultural festivals in Rwanda through December 31, 2020.

Increasing bilateral economic growth, trade, and investment; 3.Promoting inclusive country-led development by improving health and education for all; and 4.Expanding democracy, human rights, media freedom, and access to justice.

Successful grant applicants will identify a specific and identifiable connection between their cultural festival and the United States, American culture, or the Embassy and will explain this connection in their proposal.
