Early Grant Information for NGOs
The program intends to contribute to the advancement of a culture of accountability in Zimbabwe by enhancing the capacity of the media to hold powerful state and non-state actors accountable for their acts and omissions. The program also aims to strengthen citizen participation in public life and spur demand for accountability by improving citizens’ access to timely and reliable information.
The program seeks to find innovative ways to help the media encourage democratic and accountable governance, reveal corrupt practices and illicit financial flows, and promote constructive dialogue to make democratic processes more accessible to citizens. Program implementation strategies and approaches are expected to be flexible and innovative to respond to challenges and dynamics in Zimbabwe as they evolve.
