The four projects announced in this NOFO strengthen the capacity of key Pakistani change-makers and thought leaders, which in turn expands educational opportunities and linkages to the United States for the Pakistani people, especially youth and marginalized populations. This NOFO aims to support CAO Islamabad&#8217;s initiatives to promote and strengthen Pakistani educational institutions through the following projects: 1. Developing and Incorporating Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) Into Classrooms 2. Community Leadership Development and Small Grants Program 3.
