The U.S. Mission to New Zealand is offering a funding opportunity titled the "Young Pacific Leaders Program on Unlocking Funding: A Comprehensive Grants Workshop for Success." This initiative aims to empower Pacific leaders by providing them with essential skills in grant proposal writing, budget management, and stakeholder engagement, with a focus on experiential learning and capacity building. The program is particularly significant as it connects participants to larger funding sources such as the Green Climate Fund and USAID, thereby enhancing regional development and security. Interested applicants, specifically private institutions of higher education, must submit their proposals by July 31, 2024, with a total funding amount of $250,000 available for one award.
