Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Embassy in Tbilisi (Public Affairs Section, or PAS) offered a discretionary grant opportunity titled "English Language Training for Media in Georgia" to support English-language instruction for journalists and media managers across Georgia. The core goal of the program was to strengthen participants' working English so they could more easily follow, understand, and use timely international information that is most often published first in English. By improving English proficiency, the project aimed to help regional media professionals access a wider range of sources and communicate more effectively in a global information environment.
The award was structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the Embassy expected to stay actively involved in guiding or coordinating elements of the project rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The activity category was education, and it fell under CFDA 19.900. The program envisioned funding up to eighteen separate one-month English training courses, delivered for media practitioners in multiple regions rather than being concentrated in the capital. The listed target cities were Akhalkalaki, Akhaltsikhe, Marneuli, Gardabani, Gori, Zugdidi, Batumi, and Ozurgeti, indicating an emphasis on reaching journalists and media managers outside Tbilisi and strengthening regional media capacity.
Funding details show a maximum award amount (ceiling) of $100,000, with one award expected. The opportunity number was DOSGEO 16 GR 002 GEO 022216. It was posted on February 22, 2016, created the same day, and the application deadline was April 25, 2016. Eligibility was noted as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement, implying the competition may have been open to certain types of organizations such as NGOs, educational providers, training institutions, or similar entities capable of administering professional language training for media audiences.
