Opportunity Information: Apply for MMR FY18 NOFO 02
The FY 19 YSEALI Media Literacy Regional Workshop grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: MMR FY18 NOFO 02) is a discretionary U.S. Department of State funding competition administered by the U.S. Mission to Myanmar (Embassy Rangoon). The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the selected recipient would not just receive funding and operate independently, but would be expected to coordinate closely with the U.S. Embassy Public Affairs Section during planning and implementation. The opportunity was created on August 10, 2018, with an original application deadline of September 13, 2018.
At its core, the program supports the design and delivery of a six-day, in-person regional workshop in Rangoon focused on media literacy, with the six days explicitly including participants arrival and departure days. The workshop is intended to convene approximately 50 to 60 members of the Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative (YSEALI), drawing participants from all eleven YSEALI member countries: the ten ASEAN member states plus Timor-Leste. The target participants are people who already have relevant backgrounds or current experience in media, who also show the potential to serve as trainers or educators on media literacy topics, and who demonstrate leadership potential. In practice, that implies the workshop is meant to have a strong train-the-trainer or multiplier effect, equipping participants not only with knowledge and skills, but also with the ability to bring media literacy lessons back to their communities, organizations, or networks.
The funding activity category is listed as Education, and the CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 19.040, which aligns it with State Department public diplomacy and related educational exchange-type programming. The funding ceiling for the single anticipated award is $120,000, and the opportunity indicates an expectation of one award total. In other words, the U.S. Embassy anticipated selecting one implementing partner to run the entire regional workshop program, rather than splitting the project across multiple grantees.
Eligibility is described broadly as "Others," with additional clarification expected in the full notice under an "Additional Information on Eligibility" section. That wording usually signals that the competition may be open to a range of non-federal entities (such as NGOs, civil society organizations, educational institutions, or other organizations with relevant programmatic capacity), but the precise eligibility boundaries would be defined in the complete notice.
Overall, this opportunity is designed to support a short, intensive regional convening in Myanmar that strengthens media literacy capacity among emerging Southeast Asian leaders connected to YSEALI. The Embassy is seeking an organization capable of recruiting or coordinating participation across multiple countries (in coordination with YSEALI processes), organizing logistics for a 50 to 60 person regional event in Rangoon, and delivering a substantive media literacy curriculum aimed at participants who can function as future trainers and leaders in the field.Apply for MMR FY18 NOFO 02
