Submission to grants.gov is not authorized. ************************************************* Amendment 1 has been posted. USAID/Armenia is seeking applications from qualified and eligible organizations to implement the "ALTERNATIVE RESOURCES IN MEDIA PROGRAM" with USAID-provided financial assistance. The authority for this RFA is found in the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended. USAID intends to make available up to $4,000,000 and award a single Cooperative Agreement (a form of a grant) to fund the successful Applicant's Program designed to achieve objectives and results matching those described in the RFA Section C. USAID will make funds available incrementally. Program implementation is expected to be fully completed within four years. It is anticipated that award will be made in mid-March, 2010. The main focus of the program is to diversify content, utilizing high-tech and "low-tech" means to produce and distribute news and information vital to Armenians, and assisting citizens in transforming themselves from passive users of information to being active information producers and dispensers. The three key related components of the program are: production and dissemination of alternative content; promoting media literacy and consumer demand; and public advocacy in support of information diversity and a freer media along with closely monitoring and reporting on media coverage.
