Non-government, non-profit organizations (including think tanks, civil society organizations) educational institutions that are based and legally registered in Bosnia and Herzegovina are eligible to apply.
Applicants must demonstrate an ability to work in all parts of BiH, whether independently or in cooperation with a partner organization.
Mandatory Components

Applicants should propose two workshops, each on the same theme, for at least 40 participants from across BiH, and up to 10 days in length. The age range of possible participants is 18-35, but the applicant may limit the range further for participation in either workshop, to best fit the proposed workshops’ theme. Each workshop should be made of up different participants.
The first workshop should take place within the 2021 calendar year and the second workshop should take place within the first half of 2022.
The workshops should offer an innovative plan and provide young people with practical skills to contribute to the economic development of their communities. Content can include, but is not limited to, the ideas for starting and running a small business in BiH, market research and pitching business ideas, organizational development and management, innovation, emerging markets and risk analysis, strategic business planning, corporate social responsibility, gaining entrepreneurial skills that will better prepare them for the 21st century market, or an idea about enhancing existing enterprises.
The primary outcome of the workshops is for participants, individually; or groups of participants, jointly; to design an economic development project to be implemented in their communities over the course of the following year. The workshops should deliver training in project management and the design and development of a project proposal and/or business plan, including a budget. By the end of each workshop participants should complete a basic draft of their project designs in the form of a project proposal which will be competitive for funding from the Embassy or other donors.
Participants will be eligible to submit proposals in a BOLD small grant competition that will take place later in the year. To prepare them for this, a representative from the OPA grants team should be invited to present during the workshop on the basics of applying for a grant with the U.S. Embassy.
The proposal should contain detailed day-by-day schedule for each workshop, and other necessary information that makes it clear to anyone not familiar with it how the program will meet the stated objectives and projected outcomes.
There should be a strong American connection in the delivery of each workshop, ideally, with at least one participating American trainer contributing, their expertise and experience from the economic or business field, either virtually or in person.
The applicant should propose a nationwide recruitment plan to reach workshop participants from all parts of the country that goes beyond a public call for applications to include targeted outreach to appropriate youth audiences. OPA will review the final list of participants for each workshop before they are notified of their selection.
It is the obligation of the applicant to ensure that workshop participants’ information about themselves, their experience in the workshop, and/or their project ideas are shared and publicized on social media platforms of the BOLD network so that others can see their leadership examples and be motivated by their experience in the workshop.
