It is relevant only as a social-support and evaluation pilot, but the eligibility restrictions and domestic geography make it low priority for the Movement.

Annual Program Statement

Reginah Mawere Grantor

This Annual Program Statement funds proposals that advance U.S. Embassy priority areas in Zimbabwe, including free speech, commercial diplomacy, emerging technology and AI, and professional networks. It is intended for organizations and individuals that reflect American values and aims to strengthen media literacy, economic ties, technology adoption, and people-to-people engagement with U.S. counterparts.

The opportunity is a U.S. Embassy public diplomacy APS for Zimbabwe with broad, non-humanitarian objectives, so there is no strong Movement-specific pathway. Eligibility is vague and not tailored to IFRC or National Societies, making the opportunity low relevance for humanitarian action despite a minor alignment with digital/technology capacity building.

U.S-Saudi AI Research Commercialization Accelerator Program (ReCAP)

Abdulelah Alawi Grantor

The U.S. Embassy Riyadh Public Diplomacy Section is funding an organization to design and implement a 12-month U.S.–Saudi AI Research Commercialization Accelerator (ReCAP). The program will identify and advance Saudi-developed AI technologies through commercialization programming, Innovation Labs, a U.S. study tour, and a U.S.–Saudi summit. The expected outcome is stronger U.S.–Saudi connections for AI innovation, investment, and commercialization.

This is an AI commercialization and research accelerator, not a humanitarian, health, or disaster-response grant. Eligibility is generic/unclear and the opportunity is centered on U.S.–Saudi innovation networks, so there is no strong or explicit participation pathway for IFRC or National Societies.
