MoU inked to continue sponsorship

PESHAWAR: The US Embassy’s Minister Counsellor for Public Affairs (MCPA) and the Institute of Management Sciences signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to continue embassy sponsorship of Lincoln Corner Peshawar until April 2026.

Established in 2014, Lincoln Corner Peshawar hosts a variety of programmes on skills development, English language learning, career development, higher education, and American culture and history. In 2023, the Lincoln Corner hosted 60 in-person programmes and welcomed around 10,000 students.

“Lincoln Corners are a testament to the strong bond between Pakistan and the United States,” said MCPA Bettina Malone, adding that these spaces fostered dialogue, improved educational standards, and provided access to international resources for KP youth.

Lincoln Corner Peshawar hosts Creators’ Studio, a dynamic space for recording podcasts, videography, editing and production with state-of-the-art technology. The corner has Maker Space technology, which includes a 3D printer and STEM educational kits.

The US Mission to Pakistan operates 19 Lincoln Corners across Pakistan, which are part of a network of more than 600 American Spaces across the globe.
