What the grant funds

In conjunction with the Middle East Partnership Initiative (MEPI), the Political Section Assistance Unit at the U.S. Embassy in Tunisia seeks applications from local civil society organizations, non-profit organizations, community groups, non-governmental organizations, professional associations, private sector organizations, and universities registered and headquartered in Tunisia that will advance the media environment in Tunisia. The Embassy seeks proposals that develop Tunisia’s media landscape, either by supporting the growth of existing and new radio associations or by facilitating the professionalization and specialization of Tunisian journalists who contribute to those radio associations. Proposals should couple technical, managerial, and logistical support with plans to ensure that stations continue to broadcast various viewpoints and can maintain editorial and financial independence. Applicants must be registered in the official Gazette of the Tunisian government and should be headquartered in Tunisia. Applicants must demonstrate experience and capacity in successfully managing projects, have established management structures, official registrations, community support, and clear organizational goals and objectives. The selection process will be based on each proposals ability to quantify and communicate the impact of the project. Please refer to the full Notice of Funding Opportunity for all application information and requirements.
