Opportunity Summary:
USAID/Macedonia issued a funding opportunity called "Macedonia Media (M-Media) Media Content Production" under Funding Opportunity Number RFA 165 16 000005. The opportunity falls under an "Other" opportunity category and will be funded through a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means USAID expects to have substantial involvement during implementation rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The activity category is also listed as "Other," with the detailed rationale referenced in the full announcement materials. The assistance listing (CFDA) associated with this opportunity is 98.001, and the issuing agency is USAID-MAC.
The purpose of the opportunity is to support a program titled the Macedonia Media (M-Media) Program - Media Content Production. While the brief synopsis does not spell out specific program components, the title and description indicate the central focus is the creation and production of media content as part of a broader Macedonia Media initiative. In practice, opportunities framed this way are generally aimed at strengthening the media environment through content that serves public-interest goals such as improving the quality and diversity of information available to audiences, encouraging professional standards in journalism, and supporting programming that is relevant to civic life. Any precise thematic priorities, target audiences, formats, or distribution expectations would be defined in the full Request for Applications (RFA) document.
Eligibility is limited to "eligible prospective Macedonian organizations," with the eligibility field shown as "Others" and a note that additional eligibility details appear in the full announcement. In other words, applicants should be Macedonian entities that meet USAID requirements for this RFA, and the exact types of organizations that qualify (for example, nonprofits, media outlets, production houses, associations, or other registered entities) would be clarified in the full eligibility section. The opportunity anticipates making up to three awards, suggesting USAID intended to support multiple implementers or multiple content-production streams rather than a single nationwide awardee.
The award ceiling is listed at USD 1,000,000, which indicates the maximum amount USAID would provide under a single award for this competition (not necessarily the amount every awardee would receive). With an expected three awards, the final award sizes could vary depending on the applicants selected, the proposed scope of work, and USAID's budget decisions. The posted date is March 15, 2016, with the opportunity created on the same date, and the application closing date is May 16, 2016 (both the original and current closing dates match), meaning the submission window was roughly two months.
Overall, this opportunity is a USAID/Macedonia cooperative agreement solicitation designed to fund Macedonian organizations to produce media content under the M-Media program umbrella, with up to three awards and a maximum of $1,000,000 per award, based on applications submitted by the May 16, 2016 deadline.
