U.S. - Afghan National Museum Partnership

As part of the U. S. Government's policy to support Afghanistan's people and government as they establish a more secure, moderate, just, and lasting civil society and to demonstrate American commitment and support for Afghan culture and heritage, the U.S. Embassy Kabul Public Affairs Section is soliciting proposals from highly-qualified and experienced major U.S. non-profit/non-governmental cultural organizations, such as museums or universities, or consortia of organizations and individuals, to enter into a cooperative agreement to develop and carry out the U.S.-Afghan National Museum Partnership. This three-year effort includes; * the establishment of a new museum electronic catalogue and collections management system, * the complete cataloguing and archival rehousing of the Museum's collections in preparation for their future relocation to a new Museum building, * practical, sustainable, capacity-building training in museum management, museum practice and operations for the National Museum of Afghanistan staff in Kabul, Afghanistan.
