The U.S. Embassy Kigali and the U.S. Department of State have announced an open competition for grants aimed at promoting financially sustainable investigative journalism in Rwanda. The initiative, part of the Africa Regional Democracy Fund program, seeks to enhance government accountability, responsible journalism, and freedom of expression in Rwanda’s digital space.

The program supports public interest journalism to foster a more transparent and accountable governance structure. By bolstering investigative journalism, the program aims to provide Rwandan citizens with reliable information, thereby strengthening democratic processes and human rights protections.

2) Eligibility

Eligible applicants for this grant include Rwandan local registered community-based organizations, associations, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) with at least two years of experience in the fields of Democracy, Governance, and Human Rights. Organizations with a history of poor performance on previous U.S. government grants are ineligible for this funding.

3) Location

Actions must take place in Rwanda.

4) Budget

The total program funding for this grant opportunity is not explicitly stated. However, individual awards will be made at a fixed amount of $300,000.
