The Tanzania Media Fund is available in two categories: one is for individuals and journalist and the second one is for media houses and NGOs. The focus of this Fund is to enhance and improve the public interest and investigative journalism in Tanzania. NGOs registered in mainland Tanzania or Zanzibar are eligible to apply for the funding support under this grant opportunity. The priority areas to be addressed under this Fund include promotion of informed public debate with transparency and accountability, bringing in voices from the marginalized groups and also addressing the issues related to poverty in Tanzania.
There is no deadline as applications from NGOs are received round the year. For NGOs and media houses, there are two types of grants, basic institutional and large institutional grants. Individual grants are “strategic,” “rapid release” and “regional capacity” types. For more information, visit this link.
