Description
1) Objective
The U.S. Embassy announces an open competition for assistance awards through this Notice for one or a series of programs to support the Moldovan media sector. The objective of the project is to strengthen and develop the local production capacity of Moldovan media in the interests of providing a plurality of views, supporting editorial independence, and increasing the quality of domestically produced media in Moldova. It also aims to improve Moldovans’s ability to critically assess mass media and social media, and to support qualified organizations that can increase the level of professionalism of Moldovan journalists and media outlets.
Proposals may cover all types of media tools and channels – social interaction and social media as well as mass media. Proposals are free to target any audience within Moldova, but should not be targeted at the whole of Moldova. Successful proposals will identify and target a specific subset of the population and should clearly explain why targeting that demographic group is important.
2) Eligibility
Eligible are Not-for-profit organizations, including think tanks and civil society/non-governmental organizations officially registered in the Republic of Moldova; Mass media registered as Limited Liability Companies.
3) Location
Actions must take place in Moldova.
4) Budget
Grants are ranging up to $100,000.
5) Application
The application deadline is 30 June 2024. The submission of the Statement of Interest (SoI) is the first step in a two-step process. Applicants must first submit a concise statement of interest designed to clearly communicate program idea and objectives using the Microsoft Forms link provided later in this document. This is not a full proposal. The purpose of the SOI process is to allow applicants to submit program ideas for evaluation prior to requiring the development of a full proposal application. Upon a merit review of eligible SOIs, selected applicants will be invited to expand on their program idea(s) by submitting a full proposal application. Full proposals will go through a second merit review before final funding decision are made.
