Opportunity Information: Apply for DOS KAZ NS AEECA 21 015
The Media Program for Renewable Energy is a U.S. Mission to Kazakhstan grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: DOS KAZ NS AEECA 21 015; CFDA 19.900) designed to strengthen how renewable energy and climate-related topics are covered in Kazakhstani media. The core idea is to expand public access to reliable information on green energy by improving both the quality and the volume of reporting, while also increasing how widely that reporting reaches audiences across the country. The program is structured as a discretionary award and may be issued as a grant or cooperative agreement, with an award ceiling of $46,000 and an expectation of up to three awards.
The project focuses heavily on practical capacity-building for working media professionals. Applicants are expected to recruit and organize a cohort of at least 50 journalists, bloggers, and related media practitioners from different regions of Kazakhstan and deliver a structured training program that includes at least eight online training sessions. These classes should go beyond basic awareness and provide in-depth instruction on renewable energy, global and local climate change mitigation efforts, Kazakhstan's low-carbon commitments, and the country’s progress toward implementing those commitments. A key accountability feature is that participating journalists are not only trained but are also required to apply what they learn: each participant is expected to produce at least four pieces of content (such as articles) focused on green energy or climate change themes.
The intended audience for the project includes journalists, bloggers, media outlets, editors, and other media professionals, with a strong emphasis on reporters and content creators who can directly increase public-facing coverage. While the program targets media professionals as direct participants, it is meant to benefit Kazakhstani media consumers more broadly by raising the overall quality of renewable energy information available to the public. Proposals that reach regional and Kazakh-speaking audiences are encouraged, reflecting a priority to improve information penetration outside major urban centers and into communities where access to specialized environmental reporting may be limited.
Several participation targets guide how applicants should design recruitment and program delivery. At least 50 percent of participants should produce their journalism in the Kazakh language, reinforcing a clear preference for expanding high-quality Kazakh-language content. Additionally, at least 40 percent of the participants should come from regions with higher industrial needs for alternative energy sources, signaling an intent to connect climate and energy reporting to areas where the economic and environmental stakes of energy transition are especially tangible.
The program lays out four main objectives that proposals should address. First, it aims to increase the amount of accurate, qualified reporting on renewable energy across both traditional media and newer digital platforms. Second, it seeks to create a durable community of at least 50 journalists and bloggers who develop specialization in green energy, emissions reduction, and related renewable energy issues, and who can collaborate and share information for joint reporting projects beyond the formal training sessions. Third, it aims to strengthen professional skills in verification and fact-checking, and to encourage more analytical, self-driven reporting rather than superficial or press-release-based coverage. Finally, it is meant to increase public awareness and understanding of Kazakhstan’s green energy efforts and the broader need to prevent or reduce the consequences of climate change.
In terms of timeline and administration, the recommended project duration is up to 12 months, which implies a program plan that can recruit participants, deliver at least eight online training classes, support content development, and demonstrate measurable outputs within a year. The funding opportunity was created on July 28, 2021, with an original closing date of August 27, 2021, and it is administered by the U.S. Department of State through the U.S. Mission to Kazakhstan.Apply for DOS KAZ NS AEECA 21 015
