This grant is for organizations seeking to implement programs designed to increase the free flow of objective and independent information into, out of, and within the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK or North Korea). The Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL) invites Statements of Interest (SOI) from eligible organizations committed to enhancing information access in a highly restricted environment. The primary purpose is to empower individuals in the DPRK with diverse and unbiased perspectives, counteracting severe information control. Projects should focus on innovative methods to deliver independent content, facilitate information exchange with the outside world, and strengthen the capacity for local information sharing. This vital initiative aims to support fundamental human rights by ensuring access to accurate and varied information sources.
