Opportunity Information: Apply for PAS MON FY21 04
The Moving Forward Together Radio Program Producer grant is a U.S. Embassy Monrovia Public Affairs Section (PAS) funding opportunity for an individual or small team to design and produce a bi-weekly radio program that helps Liberians better understand the U.S. Embassy's partnerships with the Liberian government and communities. It is set up as an extension of the existing Moving Forward Together (MFT) show, a 45-minute weekly program hosted on ECOWAS Radio, and it shifts the format into a six-month series of 14 episodes beginning in September 2021. The overall intent is to communicate Embassy impact in a way that feels concrete and relatable to everyday listeners, while also strengthening professional media production skills locally.
Under the new structure, the program alternates between two types of episodes. One type is a typically live interview show on ECOWAS Radio where U.S. Embassy staff speak directly with Liberian counterparts; PAS will take the lead on these live broadcasts. The other type is a pre-recorded, story-driven episode centered on Liberians who have participated in or benefited from U.S. Embassy-supported programs and projects. The grantee is primarily responsible for the pre-recorded episodes, including end-to-end production and the practical work that makes them possible, such as identifying and pursuing leads shared by PAS, arranging interviews and recording logistics, conducting interviews, and editing the material into an engaging 45-minute narrative that is ready for broadcast.
A major requirement of the grant is distribution beyond the main station, with a strong emphasis on reaching rural audiences. The producer must distribute completed programs to at least 25 radio stations, prioritizing rural community stations that may have limited access to regular information about Embassy activities. The grantee is also expected to track how often the programs are rebroadcast and provide a rough estimate of listenership, meaning applicants need a workable plan for outreach to stations, follow-up reporting, and simple monitoring methods that can credibly document reach and reuse.
The project is designed to advance the Embassy's strategic goal of reinforcing historic ties and shared values between the United States and Liberia by highlighting practical examples of cooperation and shared priorities. Editorially, the series is expected to do several things at once: explain the impact of the many U.S. Embassy programs implemented each year; spotlight Liberian individuals and organizations making positive contributions to society with support that connects back to Embassy programs; illustrate the long-standing U.S.-Liberia relationship in terms that resonate locally; and create airtime for communities and voices that are often missing from mainstream Liberian radio.
This is a discretionary Department of State grant (U.S. Mission to Liberia) listed under funding opportunity number PAS MON FY21 04 with CFDA 19.040. The opportunity anticipated one award with a funding ceiling of $40,000. It was posted July 7, 2021, with an original application deadline of August 8, 2021. Eligible applicants are described broadly as "others" (with further eligibility details referenced in the full notice), but the narrative makes clear the target applicant profile: journalists and radio producers with demonstrated production experience who can operate as a small, agile production unit and ideally already have access to their own recording and editing equipment. The Embassy also encourages professionals who want to build their portfolio, which suggests the grant is meant to be both an outreach product for public diplomacy and a practical opportunity to strengthen local media capacity through hands-on production work.Apply for PAS MON FY21 04
