| Description:: |
The Public Affairs Section (PAS) of U.S. Embassy Kyiv is pleased to announce an open competition for program proposals. PAS invites U.S. non-profit/non-governmental organizations to submit media support and exchange program concept papers for supporting professional and financially viable media in Ukraine. The Department will have approximately $400,000 available to award one grant.OBJECTIVES: The project goal is to create and maintain long-term relationships between selected American and Ukrainian media outlets of similar size, and between the individuals who work at both outlets. Within this framework, Ukrainian professionals in print, online, and broadcast media will have the opportunity to interact with U.S. counterparts and to take part in practical training, organized by their U.S. partner. This project seeks to promote the development of free and independent Ukrainian media outlets that are financially viable, based on the fact that independent media is critical for the further democratic development of Ukraine.PAS would like to see four annual partnerships developed under this program. Each Ukrainian media outlet should be matched with an appropriate U.S. media outlet. Proposals should demonstrate geographic diversity by including media outlets from throughout Ukraine. Partnerships should include media outlets in regional capitals or larger regional cities. Proposed partnerships in Kiev will be considered on a case by case basis, based on justification. Applications should propose at least three partnerships in their submission. Applicants should explain how the proposed matches support the programs objectives and why they expect that the partnerships will be sustained beyond the duration of the grant. The grantee should work closely with PAS during the grant period. Specific partnerships will be approved by PAS.Please see full text of the Request for Proposals for more details. |
