Strengthening Free and Independent Media in South Sudan Program: The United States Government, represented by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), anticipates issuing a request for applications (RFA), early-May 2013, inviting applications for a Cooperative Agreement to implement the Strengthening Free and Independent Media in South Sudan Program. Subject to the availability of funds, this competitively awarded five-year, Cooperative Agreement will focus on strengthening the independence, professionalism, production capacities, self-sustainability and regulatory framework of the media sector in South Sudan. Media assistance will build on the transition to self-sustainability of five currently USAID-supported local partner radio stations. Due to its unique potentials for communicating with virtually the entire population, media can enable a much needed national conversation to vitally contribute to the building of this new nation. The media, be it print, broadcast, internet, or other form, represent an integral part of accountability systems that, in turn, are critical to the effective functioning of democratic governance.USAID will advise applicants of project objectives and desired outcome; however, applicants must provide the methodology or approach for implementation of the project. Applicants will have the opportunity to propose a sound, cost effective approach for the Program. Additionally, Applicants are strongly encouraged to consider implementation through a consortium with other organizations including but not limited to PIOs and local organizations; however, principal responsibility for implementation of the program should rest with the applicant who should act as prime and have final responsibility for implementation and performance monitoring of the program.
