Description
The Media Small Grants Program advances the U.S. Embassy goal of supporting a more inclusive and accountable democracy. It seeks to increase journalistic professionalism, expand the capabilities of independent media, and promoted access to information. The intended result is increased production of balanced, locally relevant, diverse, and high-quality media products.
Prior activities through this program have included support for projects that:
...- Produced quality journalism and educated journalists on best practices, including investigative work on key issues.
- Educated the public on safe social media use for children by partnering with social media influencers and bloggers.
- Supported the ability of government relations officials to effectively communicate with constituents.
- Produced journalistic content that highlights women’s leadership in the regions.
Proposed programs should be innovative and clearly demonstrate how they will complement any ongoing programs and avoid duplicating past efforts. They may include activities that improve upon or expand existing successful projects. Applicants should pay close attention to the PDS project goal and target audiences when developing their proposals.
