Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Embassy in Kabul, through its Public Affairs Section (PAS), announced a discretionary grant opportunity to fund the ongoing maintenance and day-to-day operations of the Media Operations Center (MOC) located on the campus of Kabul University. PAS previously paid for the construction and outfitting of the center, and this grant is intended to protect that investment by ensuring the facility continues running smoothly after completion. The MOC is positioned as a modern training hub where students and faculty can learn and practice contemporary media production skills, including producing and distributing print materials as well as radio and television content. The center is also meant to strengthen students abilities to create and broadcast their own information products, including content relevant to their communities, and to increase both faculty and student capacity to use up-to-date media production technologies.
The award is structured as a grant with a planned performance period of up to 24 months. The program falls under the Public Diplomacy and Education program and facilities support category, and it is tied to CFDA 19.501 (Public Diplomacy Programs for Afghanistan and Pakistan). The opportunity anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $200,000. The funding range listed includes an award floor of $100,000 and a ceiling of $200,000, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated.
Eligibility is open to U.S., Afghan, and international organizations or companies, but applicants must be able to demonstrate direct experience with building and equipment repair and maintenance and show a proven record of successfully implementing projects in Afghanistan.

A key condition applies to entities that do not maintain an office in Afghanistan: non-Afghan organizations or companies without an in-country office must partner with an Afghan organization or company to be considered.
The opportunity was posted on July 15, 2013, with an application deadline of August 15, 2013, and it was later archived on September 14, 2013.
