This call is part of the project “Strengthening Media Freedom, Professionalism, and Journalists’ Safety in Albania”, funded by the European Union and implemented by BIRN Albania in partnership with SCiDEV and Qendra Faktoje.
The project aims to build the capacities of local media and journalists through training and mentoring, enabling them to monitor Albania’s progress on media freedom and address violations of freedom of expression, as well as issues related to journalist safety.
This year, the project has awarded grants to three local media organisations, with plans to support three more next year. An initial assessment of the vulnerabilities and needs of local media organizations has identified the need to develop key internal procedures, which will be supported by this project.
In this context, BIRN Albania and SCiDEV are seeking experts to develop internal procedures for local media organisations in the following areas:
- Strategic planning development
- Financial and tendering procedures
- Administrative procedures
- Journalist safety and cybersecurity guidelines
- Social media communication guidelines
- Editorial guidelines for reporting on sensitive topics and marginalized communities
Experts will be engaged from December 2024 to March 2026 and will provide consultancy within a 10-day timeframe for each procedure.
Experts may apply for more than one procedure and should specify their areas of interest in their letter of interest.
