With nearly two-thirds of its population under age 30, the country's shift to English-medium instruction and ambitious University 4.0 initiative create unprecedented openings for American collaboration in the technology sector. As Algeria modernizes its digital infrastructure and educational systems, there is strong interest in partnering with leading technology providers to ensure access to cutting-edge tools and internationally recognized standards. Algeria's next generation of technology leaders—students, educators, entrepreneurs, and community leaders—currently have limited access to training in U.S. artificial intelligence tools, international standards, and best practices in AI governance. Providing access to American AI methodologies and best practices will help ensure that Algerian professionals have diverse options and can make informed choices about the technological ecosystems that best serve their needs and reflect democratic values of transparency, user-centered design, and ethical AI development. This Freedom250 initiative addresses these opportunities by leveraging the five American Spaces across Algeria to deliver practical, hands-on AI training to at least 150 strategic participants who will serve as multipliers within their communities. The program advances U.S. priorities in technological excellence and international partnerships by introducing American AI methodologies in Algeria's technology landscape. Through a modular curriculum spanning AI fundamentals, evaluation frameworks, hands-on labs, and localized application development, participants progress from conceptual understanding to practical proficiency, becoming advocates who can independently apply American frameworks in their professional contexts. This initiative builds directly on Mission Algeria's proven track record in technology and education programming. A 2026 program featuring a Freedom250 AI Envoy engaged Algeria's Ministry of Youth, establishing productive government relationships and demonstrating official interest in U.S. AI collaboration. Additionally, the Mission's 2025 collaboration with the Ministries of Higher Education and Vocational Training—including the country's largest English teaching conference—revealed that 70% of participating teachers expressed greater interest in learning about American AI tools, validating significant demand for practical AI training. The Public Diplomacy Section seeks to implement a transformative program that strengthens U.S.-Algeria partnership in artificial intelligence and emerging technology. At least 150 participants across five cities will complete the program with measurable gains, producing tangible artifacts like prompt libraries and localized AI applications. A cohort of trained local facilitators will later independently deliver the curriculum, enabling the American Spaces to continue programming beyond initial funding and exponentially expand reach. The alumni will serve as advocates for American AI frameworks, with educators integrating U.S. tools into teaching, entrepreneurs building ventures on American platforms, and community leaders promoting informed discourse about ethical technology development using learned frameworks. The ideal implementing partner will demonstrate sustainability-first design through clear training-of-trainers strategies, capacity to deliver quality programming across all five cities, rigorous monitoring and evaluation frameworks, emphasis on practical application over theory, concrete alumni engagement plans, and flexibility to adapt to changing circumstances including virtual delivery. This program represents an important opportunity to strengthen bilateral cooperation. The successful implementer will share the Mission's vision of promoting American technological excellence and ensuring democratic values shape the digital future of the region. Project Audience(s): The primary beneficiaries of this program are the minimum of 150 participants across five Algerian cities who will receive direct training in U.S.-aligned AI tools, standards, and governance frameworks. The program targets university students (ages 18-30) pursuing degrees in technology, engineering, business, and education—a particularly strategic demographic given that nearly two-thirds of Algeria's population is under 30. These young professionals represent the future workforce and are eager to acquire cutting-edge skills that enhance their employability in the global technology marketplace. Educators including teachers, professors, and instructional designers serve as critical multipliers who can integrate American AI tools into their curricula, potentially reaching hundreds of additional students over their careers. They are positioned to normalize U.S. technological frameworks within Algeria's educational system and shape how the next generation understands and applies AI technologies. The program also targets entrepreneurs and small business owners developing technology-based ventures or seeking to integrate AI solutions into existing businesses. This audience is motivated by practical applications that improve efficiency and create competitive advantages. Finally, community leaders and civil society representatives working in non-governmental organizations and youth programs influence public discourse about technology adoption and are positioned to promote ethical AI development and democratic governance frameworks that align with American values. These audiences share key characteristics: they have capacity to train others and are at career stages where exposure to American frameworks can shape long-term professional trajectories. Project Goal:   The goal is to establish the United States as Algeria's preferred partner for artificial intelligence development by embedding American AI tools, standards, and governance frameworks within Algeria's emerging technology ecosystem. This long-term goal envisions a generation of Algerian technology leaders who routinely adopt U.S.-aligned AI methodologies, promote democratic values of transparency and ethical technology development, and serve as multipliers who expand American technological influence throughout Algerian institutions and communities. This goal directly aligns with U.S. foreign policy priorities of advancing American technological leadership globally, promoting democratic governance in digital spaces, and strengthening bilateral partnerships with a strategic partner in North Africa. Project Objectives: ·         Objective 1: Train a minimum of 150 participants across five American Spaces (Algiers, Bechar, Constantine, Oran, and Ouargla) in U.S.-aligned AI tools, standards, and governance frameworks, with at least 80% of participants completing all hands-on labs and collaborative projects by the end of the 12-month program period. ·         Objective 2: Achieve measurable knowledge gains among participants, with pre- and post-program assessments demonstrating at least 30% improvement in understanding of U.S.-aligned AI standards, ethical frameworks, and practical application methodologies ·         Objective 3: Establish a cohort of at least 10 trained local facilitators who can independently deliver the AI curriculum at American Spaces, ensuring program sustainability and enabling continued delivery beyond the initial funding period. ·         Objective 4: Generate tangible outputs demonstrating practical AI proficiency, with participants producing artifacts such as prompt libraries, automated report templates, and localized AI applications that address real challenges in education, health, agriculture, or community service. ·         Objective 5: Create a sustainable community of practice connecting program alumni, facilitators, and American Spaces, with at least 60% of participants remaining engaged through online platforms and contributing to knowledge-sharing activities six months after program completion. 2.  Substantial Involvement N/A READ FULL ANNOUNCEMENT IN THE ATTACHMENTS
