What the grant funds
The U.S. Embassy announces a limited competition for assistance awards through this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for a program to strengthen Moldova’s information space. The objective of the project is to achieve the following: · Build the capacity of Moldovan partners to communicate an accurate message about Moldova’s European trajectory; · Promote Moldovan use of online platforms that provide a richer variety of information online about Moldova and the world. Proposals may cover all types of media tools and channels – social interaction and social media as well as mass media. Proposals are free to target any audience within Moldova, but should not be targeted at the whole of Moldova. Successful proposals will identify and target a specific subset of the population and should clearly explain why targeting that demographic group is important. The Embassy invites applicants to identify and extend existing good practices and to include in their proposals a discussion of how the proposal does not duplicate existing activities undertaken by other entities. Proposals need to include detailed and realistic implementation plan on reaching the objectives and proposed priorities, including specific activities. A complete application must contain the following mandatory elements: · Application Format in MS Word format (available for download) · Detailed Budget in MS Excel format (available for download) · Initial Research to note existing programs and avoid duplication of existing efforts. · Monitoring and Evaluation Plan (including indicators, baselines, targets). · CVs of the Implementation Team. For more details see attached Related Documents.
