Opportunity Information: Apply for DOS KAZ NS AEECA 20 008
The U.S. Department of State, through the U.S. Mission to Kazakhstan, offered a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Legal Support to Journalists in Kazakhstan" (Funding Opportunity Number: DOS KAZ NS AEECA 20 008). The program was designed to strengthen press freedom and support Kazakhstani journalists in delivering objective and timely information to the public by ensuring they can access prompt, fair, and professional legal assistance when facing legal pressure or disputes tied to their work.
Under this opportunity, the selected organization would be responsible for providing practical legal support to journalists and media outlets across all regions of Kazakhstan. This support explicitly includes legal consultations and legal defense, meaning the implementer should be able to advise journalists on their rights and risks, respond to emerging cases, and represent or arrange representation for journalists and outlets when legal proceedings arise. A core expectation is nationwide coverage: applicants were expected to have defense attorneys either on staff or under contract who could deliver services throughout Kazakhstan, not only in major cities.
In addition to direct legal services, the project also called for monitoring and tracking the broader situation related to press freedoms. The Embassy emphasized the importance of objective monitoring, suggesting that the grantee would likely document trends, identify recurring legal threats to media work, and produce credible observations about the environment in which journalists operate. Priority was to be given to applicants with a proven track record delivering similar legal services and with demonstrated capacity to monitor press freedom conditions in a balanced and reliable way. The Embassy also looked for strong credibility in the local media community: the successful applicant was expected to show a solid reputation, clear awareness of Kazakhstan's press freedom landscape, and recognition among journalists and media experts.
The funding mechanism allowed was a grant or cooperative agreement, with an award ceiling of $80,000 and an anticipated total of up to 10 awards. The CFDA number listed for the program was 19.900. The opportunity was posted on June 9, 2020, with an original application deadline of July 9, 2020. Eligibility was listed broadly as "Others" (with further details referenced in the full eligibility clarification), indicating the competition likely targeted capable local organizations or entities with relevant experience rather than limiting eligibility to a narrow applicant type.Apply for DOS KAZ NS AEECA 20 008
