Cross Border University Partnership Initiatives

The Public Diplomacy Section (PDS) of the U.S. Embassy in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire announces an open competition for higher education institutions to submit applications that will create sustainable linkages between American and Ivoirian universities. These programs will support academic collaboration, research partnerships, and/or student exchanges, between universities in both countries. All programs must include an American cultural element, or connection with American expert(s), organization(s), or institution(s) in a specific field that will promote increased understanding of U.S. policy and perspectives.
