Opportunity Information: Apply for USAID W OAA GRO LMA 11 022613
The Facilitating the Free Flow of Information grant opportunity aims to enhance access to uncensored information in Cuba, where government restrictions have limited citizens' internet access and the ability to receive unfiltered content. Over the past 20 years, independent civil society groups (CSGs) and networks have emerged to fill this gap, providing critical information on various topics, including culture, economy, and philosophy.
This program seeks to strengthen these independent groups and networks by improving their methods of information dissemination and expanding access to both external and locally produced content. With the rise of skilled independent journalists and bloggers, there is a push to distribute their work to more Cuban citizens, who often lack access to quality local content, even when it is published internationally.
The initiative will employ diverse media technologies, including USB drives, CDs, social media, and laptops, to facilitate the distribution of information tailored to community interests. Additionally, traditional print media may still play a role, but the focus will be on tech-driven solutions that empower citizens to engage critically with local, national, and global issues.
Organizers are encouraged to provide events that foster dialogue, cultural exchange, and community involvement. Training programs will enhance the technical skills of key individuals within the CSGs, covering areas such as information management and the integration of new social media tools. Leadership development will also be a focus, ensuring that capable leaders emerge from these groups to sustain the services offered.
Expected outcomes include increased access to diverse and unfiltered information, improved community engagement through innovative activities, and the cultivation of leadership skills among participants. Recipients of the grant will be responsible for program management, compliance with regulations, and coordinating with USAID and other organizations operating in Cuba to achieve these goals.Apply for USAID W OAA GRO LMA 11 022613
