Call for Proposals invited by 96 NISAA FM, a project initiated by the Womanity Foundation (earlier known as Smiling Children Foundation) for growth as well as expansion strategy for NISAA FM. This 96 NISAA FM is the first commercial women’s radio station and website in the Middle East, a project incorporated in late 2009.
96 NISAA FM creates and caters to a community of more than 1.8 million Palestinian women across generations, social statuses and geographic areas by providing them a platform of cultural and social information and discussion and by voicing their aspirations and opinions. This project aims to connect women to a supportive community which showcases inspirational models and promotes their empowerment.
The radio outlet aims to be a durable and financially viable project by attracting advertisers, program sponsors, investments and grants and by syndicating programs and establishing commercial partnerships. As such, it aims to serve as a model that can be replicated elsewhere in the Arab region.
96 NISAA FM and Womanity are now looking for partners who can strategically support the development of the radio outlet in two directions:
- Expansion and replication (e.g. franchising?) of the 96 NISAA FM model to other Arab countries;
- Creation of a regional network of partners of radio stations and other media to strengthen the information sharing among women in the Middle East and serve them at a regional level
96 NISAA FM was created with the idea to serve as a model for women’s empowerment throughout the Arab region. One of the main features of the radio outlet is its inspirational nature. 96 NISAA FM’s programs aim to inform women and inspire them with positive models that can be found among women in Arab societies and beyond. 96 NISAA FM aims to involve women and men in a positive dialogue on women’s and welfare issues to find common strategies to ensure the progress of women and their communities.
Deadline: April 16, 2012
