Grant Description

In September, 2013 the second U.S.-China Joint training program for Afghan diplomats began. This project was organized by the Chinese government and the U.S. Department of State.

The program involved 12 entry-level diplomats who listened to lectures on diplomacy, public communication, and embassy management. Two weeks of the program took place in the United States and two weeks took place in Beijing later in the year. This is an annually recurring project with the third and most recent training visit in October, 2014.

Loan applications and disbursements are still being received and processed as the projects continue to evolve. Ongoing monitoring and evaluation are in place to ensure project continuity.
