DescAfrica:In Sub-Saharan Africa, Internews trained thousands of journalists about how to report effectively on health issues, including HIV/AIDS, maternal and child health, malaria, TB, and family planning. In our health journalism work in Kenya, we focus on making sure that people have the information they need to protect their health - and that the media environment supports affected populations, rather than stigmatizing them. We respond to emergency situations - such as the Ebola outbreak in West Africa - by tracking and countering harmful rumors and misinformation. And we use cutting edge data journalism techniques to increase Government accountability in providing health services. In countries affected by conflict, such as South Sudan, Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), and Somalia, Internews provides training to mainstream and community media on how to report on conflict, reconciliation and governance issues in a conflict sensitive way and to support nation-building. We give journalists the knowledge, skills and tools to cover elections in a comprehensive and fair way. Finally, in many countries in Africa, such as the DRC and Liberia, Internews supports long overdue changes to outdated media laws to reflect the new connectivity revolution happening across the continent. We work to protect and promote the free exchange of ideas on the internet and in the new social media platforms springing up. We promote and support the implementation of freedom of information legislation.Desc

DescAsia:In Asia, Internews supports journalists and other civil society actors across a wide range of media landscapes to promote open and fair media laws, freedom of expression, and democratic reform. We provide training and technical support to print and radio journalists, as well as TV broadcasters and social media bloggers and platforms. Our aim is to support high quality programming for local audiences and to encourage the adoption of innovative and interactive journalism tools. We support an independent media to cover a wide variety of issues that span from the environment and climate change to free and fair elections to peace and security. In many countries in Asia, Internews works at the cutting edge of the technology revolution that is upending countries' traditional media landscapes. For example, in Myanmar, Internews has worked to support the development of a nascent 'coder' community of technologists interested in social change and in working with media and civil society to advance social justice issues.Desc

DescEurope and Eurasia:In Europe and Eurasia, Internews provides technical support to independent TV, radio, print, and online media sources through training career and citizen journalists in professional and ethical standards. We also assist traditional media outlets to create interactive, multimedia online presences. In support of a free press, we work with local media NGOs and associations to create active networks of media professionals, enabling them to speak out with one voice against censorship and repressive policies. Our programs provide legal assistance to journalists and bloggers in trouble. Internews' work across the region creates opportunities for dialogue across borders, bringing colleagues from often polarized societies together in positive collaborative exchanges. In Moldova, for example, Internews has fostered collaboration between local NGOs, journalists, and technology specialists to produce quality multimedia content that engages audiences and promotes transparency. In Central Asia, Internews has fostered content sharing between local independent TV stations to help them better compete against state-and oligarch-backed media outlets and weather the economic crisis gripping the region. In Ukraine, Internews supported legal advocacy that led to the adoption of more transparent media ownership laws and the establishment of a true public broadcaster.Desc

$2,925,133$821,333Information Communications Technology (ICT):Internews supports the development and local adaptation of open source software, global digital security processes and standards, and internet policy. This ICT work ensures that the Internet can provide a dynamic space for freedom of expression and access to information, inclusive of all citizens, especially women and at-risk groups such as journalists, digital activists and content creators. Our strategy leverages venture capital-style investment in cutting-edge technologies to enhance access, security and privacy online and via mobile, as well as convening diverse stakeholders to build collaborative standards. In parallel, we also working with local organizations to advocate to preserve and protect online rights.
$3,014,197$158,894Thematic and Other Projects:Internews supports three cross-cutting areas in its Global Initiatives programs: humanitarian crisis communication, environmental journalism, and health journalism. In humanitarian disasters people affected by the unfolding tragedy need more than physical necessities: they also have an urgent need for information. Since the 2004 tsunami in Indonesia, Internews has been building partnerships and working closely with humanitarian organizations and government agencies at all stages during emergency responses in support of our believe that information itself is a critical form of aid. Internews' innovative Earth Journalism Network (EJN) works to ensure greater coverage of climate change and broader environmental issues. Through the EJN, Internews supports networks of environmental journalists in countries where they do not exist- and builds their capacity where they do- through training workshops, the development of training materials, support for production and distribution, and the delivery of small grants to journalists covering environmental issues. Finally, in the realm of health journalism, Internews understands that the "information ecology" that we all live in is a critical component in global public health; simply put, the media play a critical role for all of us in communicating health information that can help to save lives. Working with health journalists, Internews supports effective health policy formulation, enhances accountability around public health issues, and works to reduce myths and misperceptions. Health journalists trained by Internews help to translate complex medical information into actionable information that allows people to make more informed decisions about their health.
$1,139,911$181,369Latin American Countries:In Latin America and the Caribbean, Internews works with journalists and human rights defenders to promote and protect freedom of expression. We train local human rights defenders so that they can advocate for an open ICT environment, and we facilitate their participation in relevant international fora so that they can benefit from knowledge sharing and networking opportunities. In addition, we're on our way to building a robust and self-sustained network of digital security trainers as part of an effort to promote online freedom of expression in the region. An important component of this particular effort is the fostering of synergies between trainers and freedom of expression advocates that is so critical to maximizing the impact of both groups' work. Moreover, we're working with local journalists to develop high-quality, locally-led, fact-based investigative reporting that sparks public dialogue about transparency and accountability. We do this by training them on investigative and data journalism as well as on digital and physical security. Lastly, we're on our way to implementing a fellowship program whereby advocates from the region will be paired with tech-related organizations to learn firsthand about how the tech world functions and to make connections.
$284,164$21,189Middle East and North Africa:In the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), Internews works with local partners to tailor programs uniquely suited to their particular country's information needs. Internews' diverse programs include online, radio, television, and building journalists skills in investigative, social media for journalism, data-driven reporting and, conflict and gender-sensitive journalism techniques. In the MENA region, Internews seeks to improve citizen awareness and involvement in community-level democracy and governance issues, as well as to empower youth to get involved in shaping the future of their countries. Internews often works in the MENA region to support the greater involvement of women to express their civil rights. For example, in Egypt, Internews worked to ensure that women understood their rights and increased their awareness of the election process and in Palestine and Tunisia, supporting young voices in the media and leadership.

ExplanationUS-based sub-recipients of pass-through federal funding of $750,000 or more in the subrecipient's fiscal year are required to submit an A-133 audit. Organizations receiving subgrants under $750,000 are evaluated with regards to their financial and organizational capacity prior to receiving a subgrant. Based on that assessment and Internews' internal subgrants policy, thresholds are assigned for detail and frequency of monitoring and report review. These reports require varying levels of detail, and are confirmed at HQ at regular intervals and prior to any release of funds. Desk audits and site visits are implemented in response to the capacity assessment and the results of standard monitoring. Internews passes all applicable prime-funder audit requirements on to its subrecipients, applying its own audit requirements when prime funders do not specify audit requirements.ExplanationTxt
