A clearly defined project objective, with specific supporting goals and quantifiable project milestones.
A focus on skill/goal-based education and training or entrepreneurship/accelerator programming that complements, rather than competes with, programs already active in Eastern Saudi Arabia by reaching currently underserved populations, working in areas where little education and training is currently offered, or addressing important topics underrepresented in current programs. For example, priority will be given to proposals that include participants from outside of major cities like Dammam, Dhahran or Khobar.
A mentorship program prioritized to accelerate not only participants’ knowledge and skill acquisition, but also broaden their professional reach through local networking and connections to successful businesses in the United States.
A sustainable strategic plan to provide program participants with knowledge or skills of lasting value and application beyond the term of the project.
Use of traditional and innovative educational programs and networking tools in the pursuit of broader goals such as empowering women, economic development, job creation, understanding the value of diversity, business development, acquisition of leadership skills, etc.
An integrated project messaging/media plan, designed to amplify the reach of key program messages to Saudi participants who do not participate in the program.
An innovative approach that highlights American expertise or U.S.-Saudi partnerships and creates/strengthens networks between Americans and Saudis.
