About this archived opportunity
1. Project Background, Goals and Objectives Jefferson Center Mandalay Small Grants’ projects must clearly advance America First foreign policy principles by demonstrating how the proposed activities make the United States safer, stronger, and more prosperous, while celebrating Freedom250 and American excellence. Priority will be given to projects that deliver tangible, measurable benefits to U.S. interests; elevate U.S. leadership and credibility; promote reciprocal and mutually beneficial engagement with Burma and focus on one of the priority areas outlined below. AMERICA FIRST: MAKING AMERICA SAFER – Programs that directly advance the security and resilience of the United States by promoting American democratic governance and interests in Burma. This includes initiatives that reinforce the rule of law, counter trafficking, digital freedom, anti-scam awareness and corruption that threaten U.S. interests, uphold American-defined human rights, and empower civil society to create an environment that aligns with U.S. peace and security priorities in the region. AMERICA FIRST: MAKING AMERICA STRONGER – Programs that advance America First priorities by equipping Burma’s students and young adults with skill‑based and vocational training that strengthens U.S.–relevant economic competitiveness. Proposals should promote accurate understanding of U.S. education, institutions, and culture; prepare potential qualified candidates for lawful study and exchange opportunities related to the United States; and build durable linkages with American academic, vocational, and cultural institutions. These may also include activities that strengthen the United States’ global leadership by promoting American values, and civic engagement rooted in U.S. principles. These programs should deepen U.S. influence in Burma, reinforce American cultural and educational standards, and build enduring partnerships that serve American diplomatic and strategic interests.
