Afghan Presidential Election Town Halls

The Public Affairs Section (PAS) of the U.S. embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan is pleased to announce an open competition for assistance awards through this Request for Proposals (RFP). PAS Kabul invites all eligible organizations to submit a proposal for the organization, production and nationwide radio broadcast of a series of regional Town Halls focused on, and highlighting the importance of, the upcoming Afghan Presidential Elections. These town halls will take place throughout the year, leading up to the 2014 elections, with the goal of fostering free, fair, transparent, inclusive, and sustainable elections by emphasizing their importance to the regions and the future of Afghanistan.
