What the grant funds
The U.S. Embassy Praia of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications to carry out a program to support the growth of a professionalized press corps in Cabo Verde. Please follow all instructions below. Program Objectives: This program seeks to award a cooperative agreement for up to $80,000 to host four quarterly conferences bringing the Cabo Verdean press corps together to gain knowledge and tools to better combat fake news, discuss the principles of investigative journalism, and how to ethically and responsibly report on fake news in the Cabo Verdean context amongst other topics. As part of the cooperative agreement, U.S. Embassy Praia will provide additional speakers for these conferences either virtually or in person.
