Project Grant SAQMIP22GR0358

The Department of State Bureau of Democracy Human Rights and Labor awarded a $1,000,000 two-year Project Grant to Internews Network through the International Programs to Support Democracy, Human Rights and Labor federal grant program (CFDA 19.345).

The grant will strengthen the capacity of independent civil society groups in Cuba to advance civil and political rights on the island. It will also increase accountability of Cuban officials for human rights violations and corruption. Internews Network will deliver services and products from its place of performance in Denver, Colorado to achieve these goals over the grant period ending September 2024. The DRL grant program supports targeted democracy and human rights programs globally to address threats to fundamental rights.
