Opportunity Information: Apply for DOS BAGHDAD PD 2019 016
The grant opportunity titled "Media Training for Minority Journalists" was offered by the U.S. Department of State through the U.S. Mission to Iraq, specifically the Public Affairs Office at the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, in coordination with the U.S. Consulate in Erbil. It was structured as a discretionary grant intended to fund a single project that delivers professional development training for minority journalists working in northern Iraq. The project focus is clearly tied to building journalistic capacity in regions where minority communities are concentrated, with particular emphasis on the Iraqi Kurdistan Region (IKR), the Ninewa Plain, and Kirkuk province.
The core purpose of the program is to strengthen the skills and professional standards of minority journalists by providing training that improves their ability to report accurately, safely, and credibly on complex issues. The solicitation highlights investigative reporting and human rights reporting as key content areas, signaling an intent to support deeper, more accountability-driven journalism as well as coverage that documents and explains rights-related concerns affecting vulnerable or underrepresented communities. By targeting minority journalists, the project also aims to broaden representation within the media landscape and help ensure that minority perspectives and issues are covered with greater competence and visibility.
In terms of program design, the embassy envisioned an initiative lasting about one year and involving journalists from multiple minority communities across northern Iraq, rather than concentrating on a single group or location. This suggests a cohort-based or multi-session training model that could include workshops, mentoring, practical assignments, editorial coaching, and other sustained forms of capacity building over time. The involvement of both the embassy in Baghdad and the consulate in Erbil implies that the project would likely require coordination across locations and an ability to operate in the IKR and other northern provinces.
Funding details indicate an award ceiling of $100,000, with the expectation of one award to be made under this opportunity. The funding instrument type was a grant, and the activity category was listed as "Other," indicating the project did not fit neatly into a standard preset category and would be defined by the training and professional development scope described in the narrative. The opportunity was associated with CFDA number 19.021, a State Department public diplomacy-related assistance listing, reflecting that the project is part of broader public diplomacy and strategic engagement objectives.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofits that do not have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education from that limitation (as written in the eligibility line). The opportunity was posted on June 21, 2019, with an original application deadline of July 31, 2019. Finally, the program was explicitly framed as supporting Section IV of the U.S.-Iraq Strategic Framework Agreement by investing in the development of Iraq's future leaders through training, positioning minority journalists not only as media professionals but also as important civic actors who can contribute to informed public discourse and community resilience.Apply for DOS BAGHDAD PD 2019 016
