Opportunity Summary:
The Afghan TV Content Production Manager grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number SCAKBL 10 GR 003 100807) was a U.S. government public diplomacy funding competition run through the U.S. Embassy Kabul Public Affairs Section (PAS) under the Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs. It was offered as a discretionary assistance award using a Cooperative Agreement, meaning the selected organization would not simply receive funds and operate independently, but would be expected to work in close coordination with Embassy Kabul PAS while carrying out the project. The overall purpose was to support the development and creation of new Afghan television content intended for broadcast through Afghan TV media outlets, with the grantee serving in a leadership role comparable to an executive producer and director for the programming developed under the agreement.
The program called for proposals from Afghan or U.S.-based nonprofit/non-governmental organizations capable of coordinating a content production effort end-to-end. The winning organization would effectively manage the production process for new TV content, including planning, coordination, and delivery of programming suitable for Afghan broadcast audiences, while aligning with the public diplomacy objectives of the U.S. government in Afghanistan and the broader region. The funding activity fell under the CFDA listing 19.501, Public Diplomacy Programs for Afghanistan and Pakistan, and the opportunity was categorized as "Other" with clarification that it supported public diplomacy programming in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
In terms of eligibility, the competition was open to two main nonprofit categories: (1) U.S. nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), and (2) nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status that are NGOs or PVOs headquartered in Afghanistan (also excluding institutions of higher education). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of eligibility or award. The opportunity anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding level of $5,000,000, indicating a single, sizable cooperative agreement intended to support a substantial production and coordination effort rather than multiple smaller grants.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on August 11, 2010, with an application deadline of September 1, 2010, and it was later archived on October 1, 2010. The primary point of contact listed for questions or for assistance accessing the full announcement was Matt Lussenhop, Public Affairs Officer at the U.S. Embassy Kabul Public Affairs Section, with an email contact referenced for the Afghan TV Content Production Manager opportunity.
