🇺🇸The U.S. State Department, with the assistance of DOGE, has stopped another 139 grants to organizations and missions of questionable interest to Americans (and, quite possibly, also to the countries where NGOs and media outlets were largely the intended recipients)
Some of the cancelled programs:
– $5.2mm to “Media Diversity” for programs like “Get the Trolls Out!” – “an anti-disinformation program” in the United Kingdom
– $2.5mm for “advancing critical civic engagement” in Uzbekistan
– $2mm for “Expanded Newsroom Sustainability and Engagement” in Moldova
– $1mm for “channeling gig workers’ rights” in Brazil
– $2.4mm for “Responding to Disinformation Through Creative Content in Belarus”
– $1.7mm for “Independent Media for Peace and Democracy” in Europe
– $1.5mm for a “Women-led Gendered Approach to Justice and Accountability”
– $1.7mm for “BeMediaWise” in Bulgaria
– $900k for a “Place for Women to Join to Organize” in Mauritania
– $750k for “Building the Migrant Domestic Worker-Led Movement” in Lebanon
– $740k for a feminist “Free Expression Initiative”in Tunisia.
