In this regard, the ECA is inviting proposals from eligible private and public non profit organizations who are expressing the desire to host the exchange program, including the recruitment, screening, and selection of American participants who will be sent to Algeria as stipulated in the Youth Leadership Program guidelines.

The United States Embassy that is located in Algeria will be the one to select the Algerian participants who will be coming to the United States.
