Media outlets based in selected Southeast Asian countries can apply for this grant.
With the support of the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor, Internews’ Earth Journalism Network (EJN) is offering two organizational grants, averaging US$20,000 per grant, to support media and journalism activities that strengthen reporting on infrastructure development and public engagement on infrastructure debates in Southeast Asia.
The grants welcome applications proposing activities that seek to improve media content and/or build the capacity of journalists and public content producers on infrastructure development and the subsequent threats to the environment and human rights.
Projects are expected to increase public awareness and engagement on infrastructure development debates and advocacy, including among marginalized groups disproportionately impacted by such development. Applicants can produce stories and training resources in local languages suitable for target communities.
Applications from media organizations based in Brunei, Cambodia, Timor-Leste, Laos, Singapore and Thailand are welcome to apply.
Apply by June 9.
