About this opportunity
The Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL) at the U.S. Department of State is seeking Statements of Interest (SOI) from organizations interested in implementing programs to increase the free flow of objective, independent information into, out of, and within North Korea. The funding opportunity covers two categories: Supporting Freedom of Information and Diversifying Mechanisms for Information Access. Eligible applicants include foreign-based NGOs, U.S.-based nonprofits, public international organizations, higher education institutions, and for-profit organizations. Submissions will be evaluated based on program quality, planning capability, institutional record, and commitment to equal participation, with DRL prioritizing inclusive approaches and addressing barriers for underserved communities. The SOIs must be submitted electronically by January 10, 2025.
Funding amounts for individual projects are expected to range from $100,000 to $1,000,000, with performance periods to be determined. Selected applicants will be invited to submit full proposals. Projects must be grounded in "Do No Harm" principles and include partnerships with North Korean defector communities, focusing on activities such as creating content on democracy and human rights, supporting independent reporting, and developing circumvention technologies.
