Synopsis
Typo fixed -
The U.S. Department of State's Consulate General in Lahore announces an open competition for one assistance award through this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), contingent on funding availability, through the Public Diplomacy Grants Program. The project aims to implement a program to empower Pakistani women journalists to help them overcome barriers they face in professional development due to gender. The two-part program will consist of a two-week study tour for three-five senior women journalists with U.S. subject matter experts and organizations in the U.S. Study tour participants will connect with gender equality advocates in the United States and learn best practices of how to effectively build a community and advocate for positive change.
The second part will take place following the study tour as a follow-on program to share knowledge, build capacity, and grow a more engaged community of women journalists. The study tour participants will help to develop and implement a series of multi-day workshops over a period of 12 months for women journalists in Punjab. The workshops will focus on capacity building (particularly on field reporting), networking, and advocating for gender equality. Through this program the U.S. Mission aims to enhance the voice of women in the media. The project will be in-person.
