archived

The Public Affairs Section (PAS) of the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan, invites all eligible organizations (see Section IV for Eligibility Requirements) to submit a proposal for the development, coordination, and implementation of monthly Afghan National Police (ANP) Community Outreach Events in the following 15 provinces of Afghanistan: Kabul, Kandahar, Helmand, Paktiya, Wardak, Khost, Nangarhar, Laghman, Logar, Panjshir, Kunduz, Faryab, Ghazni, Herat, and Baghlan. Community Outreach Events will be conducted in coordination with the Ministry of Interior and consist of spectator-friendly sports tournaments, engagement meals between ANP and members of the local community in which they serve, and mobile video screenings featuring episodes of “Wakonish (Reaction) 119,” a docu-drama centered around the ANP. During this one-year period of performance, regular sports training for ANP officers and local youth will also be implemented. Sports will focus on cricket and football, but may also include volleyball, martial arts, and wrestling. A successful proposal will demonstrate the applicant’s ability to work with Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan (GIRoA) Ministries to achieve its objectives, as well as the applicant’s experience in public outreach and sports programming.
