Eesti Idapartnerluse Keskus SA

Eesti Idapartnerluse Keskus SA is a non-profit organization and foundation registered to receive federal awards from the U.S. government. Based in Estonia, it appears to promote cooperation and partnerships in the Eastern European region.

Eesti Idapartnerluse Keskus SA has received several project grants from the Department of State Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs focused on strengthening media resilience and literacy in Ukraine. In 2021, it was awarded a $200,000 grant to enhance societal resilience by strengthening local media organizations and developing media literacy initiatives in Western Ukraine under the General Department of State Assistance program. Another $200,000 project grant in 2020 aimed to build greater democratic resilience in Ukraine through strengthening local and regional media outlets. An earlier cooperative agreement in 2021 provided funding to foster a framework for cooperation between Estonia, North Macedonia, and the United States, though the amount was not specified. Through these grants, Eesti Idapartnerluse Keskus SA has delivered training, resources, and capacity building services to media organizations and communities in Ukraine to bolster their independence, professionalism, and ability to combat disinformation.
