Opportunity Information: Apply for PAS CHISINAU FY20 10 MEDIA
The U.S. Mission to Moldova, through the U.S. Embassy in Chisinau, issued a discretionary grant competition titled "Supporting Independent Media" (NOFO number PAS CHISINAU FY20 10 MEDIA). The opportunity is designed to fund one or more programs that strengthen independent media in the Republic of Moldova, with a clear emphasis on protecting plurality of views and reinforcing editorial independence. A central theme of the announcement is building the practical capacity of Moldovan media outlets and improving local content and production capabilities, so that media organizations are better equipped to produce quality programming and reporting without undue influence.
The project’s primary objective is twofold: first, to strengthen the overall capacity of Moldovan media organizations (which can include operational, professional, or institutional development), and second, to expand local production capacity inside Moldova. The embassy frames these goals as essential to a healthier media environment where different viewpoints can be represented and editorial decisions are made independently. While the NOFO does not list specific required activities in the text provided, it makes clear that proposals must lay out specific activities and present a detailed, realistic implementation plan showing how the applicant will reach the stated objectives and priorities.
Applications must be complete and follow the required submission package. The NOFO specifies three mandatory components: (1) an application formatted using the required MS Word template (available for download), (2) a detailed budget using the required MS Excel template (available for download), and (3) a monitoring and evaluation plan provided in a free-form format. The announcement also indicates that additional instructions and supporting information are contained in the "Related Documents" attached to the funding notice, implying that applicants are expected to consult those materials for formatting, compliance details, and any additional programmatic requirements.
Eligibility is narrowly defined to protect the integrity and independence of the supported media work. Eligible applicants include not-for-profit organizations such as NGOs, CSOs, and think tanks, as well as independent mass media organizations, but only if they are officially registered and properly licensed in the Republic of Moldova. The NOFO also includes strict conflict-of-interest and integrity restrictions: applicants must not be affiliated with elected or appointed government officials or political party officials (or their family members), and they must not be affiliated with individuals or groups that U.S. officials have designated as involved in significant corruption (or their family members). Organizations based outside Moldova are not excluded outright, but they must apply through a partner organization that is locally registered in Moldova.
Key administrative details included in the notice are that the funding instrument is a grant, the activity category is listed as "Other," and the CFDA number referenced is 19.900. The opportunity was created on February 24, 2020, with an original closing date of March 27, 2020. The award ceiling is stated as $250,000, signaling that proposed project scopes and budgets should be designed to fit within that maximum level of support.Apply for PAS CHISINAU FY20 10 MEDIA
