archived

U.S. Embassy Kyiv of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for Ukrainian nonprofit organizations to submit applications to coordinate and execute 16 Ukraine Press Tours over 24 months. The proposed Press Tours will be for influential European journalists outside Ukraine and introduce them to Ukraine’s government, civil society, business, media, and cultural structures.  The grantee will work in close coordination with U.S. Embassy Kyiv to organize these tours. Ideally, there will be four tours in fall 2019, four tours in spring 2020, four tours in fall 2020 and four tours in spring 2021. Each Press Tour group will consist of an average of 4 European journalists, as well as accompanying staff members from the grantee in charge of preparing the Press Tour. Journalists may come from print, television, or social media backgrounds; the grantee will not be responsible for selecting individual journalist participants. Each Press Tour will last 3-5 days and will consist of meetings with important newsmakers in Kyiv, as well as travel to the East and/or other regions of Ukraine.  The grantee will organize transportation, transfers (including airport transfers), accommodations and M&IE in Ukraine, and arrange translation services. The grantee is also responsible for organizing the full set of meetings for each tour. Please see the full Notice of Funding Opportunity, including application instructions, on the U.S. Embassy Kyiv website.
