Grants for New Media
This funding opportunity supports emerging digital content creators in Kazakhstan, particularly those producing credible Kazakh-language media, by providing grants to enhance their skills and tools for high-quality content production.
The U.S. government supports Kazakhstan's efforts to strengthen its media environment, including promoting Kazakh language and media. This support underscores the U.S. commitment to advancing bilateral relations and fostering democratic values and freedoms. Kazakhstan has witnessed a rise of emerging digital media voices in recent years. The growing importance of these voices has been recognized alongside traditional media channels. However, as new digital media platforms continue to expand, many face challenges in navigating the complex digital landscape and producing high-quality, credible, and engaging content. This content must effectively communicate their expertise and meets audience expectations.
