Georgian Media Partnership Program

The Public Affairs Section (PAS) of the U.S. Embassy in Tbilisi, Georgia is pleased to announce an open competition for the Georgian Media Partnership Program. U.S. non-profit/non-governmental organizations may submit proposals to manage an 18-month-long project to strengthen Georgian online media by fostering long-term relationships between selected American media outlets and Georgian media outlets of similar size in similar demographic communities, and between the individual professionals that work at each outlet. The means for achieving this objective may include internships, on-the-job trainings, exchanges in both directions, electronic interactions, and intensive consultations. PAS will award approximately $255,000 for an 18-month-long project, seeking to develop a partnership with one or two Georgian online media outlets under this program. The grantee should work closely with the Public Affairs Section throughout the grant period to identify the Georgian media outlet to be partnered with the American media outlet selected by the applicant.
