Establishing MEPI Alumni Network Local Chapters
The Middle East Partnership Initiative seeks to establish a network that connects all alumni of MEPI-funded projects.
Currently, there are over 11,000 MEPI alumni and this number is growing daily.
The MEPI Alumni Network will connect a group of local MEPI Alumni Chapters that together provide coverage for the entire region where MEPI is active.
This Network is designed to support and strengthen MEPI alumni and their commitment to civic engagement, creating an environment where MEPI alumni can work together to make positive contributions to their communities and bring positive change to the region using and expanding upon the skills acquired through their various MEPI experiences.
Our goal is to provide 100% coverage for the entire Middle East and North Africa region to include all countries listed under eligible countries in this program announcement.Eligible Countries:MEPI is seeking to establish Local Chapters of the MEPI Alumni Network in the following countries:
Algeria, Tunisia, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE.
Applicants may apply to establish a single chapter representing multiple countries, particularly in the Gulf, but only one application per organization will be accepted.
Eligible Applicants:Eligible applicants who may apply for this funding opportunity include any registered non-profit organizations, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and institutions of higher education (such as colleges and universities).
All organizations, U. S. based or foreign, are invited to apply for this RFA.
Applicants may apply to establish a single Chapter representing multiple countries, but must demonstrate an on-the-ground presence in each country covered in the application.
This is the third solicitation for applications to the Establishing Local MEPI Alumni Chapters Request for Applications (RFA).
