Iraqi Alumni Association Development
The U. S. Embassy in Baghdad invites eligible organizations to submit proposals to assist in the development of the three Iraqi Alumni Associations – Southern Chapter (IIAA Iraqi Independent Alumni Association), Central Chapter (DHA Development Horizon Association), and Northern Chapter (EPA Exchange
Program Alumni).
The IIAA, DHA and EPA organizations were formed by Iraqis who have participated in U. S. government-funded exchange programs that involved travel to the United States (i.e., IYLEP, IVLP, Fulbright, etc.).
Founded in 2014, they were established to provide alumni with opportunities for networking, professional development, community service, and continued contact with the US Mission.
The associations, having become less active in recent years (particularly during the strictures of COVID), need assistance with organizational development, including:
re-formulating their vision, mission, and goals; development of organizational and leadership structures; leadership training; completing the process to legally re-register as NGOs; developing and executing a plan of activities that support their mission and goals, which should align with those of Embassy Baghdad and the United States Government; conducting fundraising; planning and budgeting; communications; and outreach and recruitment of new members who meet the eligibility requirements

To advance Executive Order 13929 Safe Policing for Safe Communities, the Attorney General determined that all state, local, and university or college law enforcement agencies must be certified by an approved independent credentialing body or have started the certification process, to be eligible for FY 2022 DOJ discretionary grant funding.
To become certified, the law enforcement agency must meet two mandatory conditions: (1) the agency’s use-of-force policies adhere to all applicable federal, state, and local laws and (2) the agency’s use-of-force policies prohibit chokeholds except in situations where use of deadly force is allowed by law.
The certification requirement also applies to law enforcement agencies receiving DOJ discretionary grant funding through a subaward.
