The program must address the following categories of legislation: freedom of information; freedom of expression; freedom of assembly; copyright laws; information and communication technology; laws regulating journalism or journalists; and laws and regulations governing the Communications and Media Commission (CMC).Proposals must demonstrate the applicant?s ability to engage on media issues with relevant stakeholders, including the Government of Iraq (GOI), the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG), relevant committees within the Council of Representatives (COR) and Kurdistan Parliament of Iraq (KPI), media outlets and journalists, media advocacy groups and civil society organizations.
