Sustainable U.S. and Palestinian Higher Education Partnerships

The Public Diplomacy Section of the Palestinian Affairs Unit (PAU-PD) of the U.S. Department of State invites U.S. Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), U.S. Not-for-Profit Organizations, and Palestinian universities to submit proposals to jointly design and implement a project that will further internationalize their institutions and better prepare students to become globally empowered citizens while also advancing the PAU-PD mission to advance peace and the development of a prosperous, stable, and transparent Palestinian society, economy and system of governance through substantive engagement with American people, institutions, ideas and ideals in order to improve American-Palestinian relations and create greater opportunities for mutually beneficial partnership and cooperation. This project should advance the PAU-PD objective to support elements of Palestinian civil society working to strengthen their communities in line with American values.
