Udruga Centar ZA Razvoj Medija I Analize

Udruga Centar ZA Razvoj Medija I Analize is a non-profit organization based in Bosnia and Herzegovina that has been registered to receive federal grant awards from the U.S. government since 2014. It appears to specialize in anti-corruption efforts, investigative journalism, and monitoring of public procurement processes.

Udruga Centar ZA Razvoj Medija I Analize has received two prime federal grant awards from U.S. agencies. The first, awarded in 2021 by the Department of State's Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs, provided $41,520 to monitor and analyze how public institutions in Bosnia and Herzegovina conduct public procurement procedures in order to combat corruption. The second and larger award, totaling $4.5 million from USAID Bosnia Herzegovina in 2019, funds an investigative journalism program aimed at increasing citizen participation against corruption and supporting anti-corruption civil society groups in the country through 2024. Udruga Centar ZA Razvoj Medija I Analize has also worked as a sub-grantee, partnering with the prime recipient Udruzenje Centri Civilnih Inicijativa on monitoring public procurement processes. This has involved developing a monitoring methodology, coordinating a network of civil society organizations and volunteers, creating an interactive web platform to detect risky and corrupt procurement practices, publishing reports on findings, and engaging anti-corruption ambassadors to promote the initiatives.
