CFI is launching the second call for proposals “EBTICAR-Media” for innovative digital media run by online information stakeholders in the Arab World. The selected projects will be awarded grants ranging from €30,000 to €60,000.

Applications must be filled on CFI website before 8^th March 2015 (23h GMT).

The revolution of online media in the Arab world and their effervescence, have fundamentally changed the media landscape of the societies of the south shore of the Mediterranean, contributing to their democratisation with respect to information and their economic development.

EBTICAR-Media aims to support the contributors of this change by providing funding that will allow them to develop and improve the structure of their projects. EBTICAR-Media (ebticar means "innovation" in Arabic, but also E-Booster for Technical and Innovative Contents in the Arab Region) has set a goal to support the development and structuring of online media in the Mediterranean World through the awarding of grants.

EBTICAR-media is aimed at institutions, companies, associations and community groups that offer online news content and wish to strengthen, enrich or structure their offering.

Last April, CFI, the French Cooperation Agency, launched the first call for proposals EBTICAR-MEDIA after selecting 11 projects. This second and final stage should lead to the selection of a dozen new projects participating in the vitality of the Arabic digital world.

Ebticar-Media is managed by a consortium that consists of the following partners: CFI (France, leader) Babelmed (Italy), EF (France), the Anna Lindh Foundation (Egypt) and the Samir Kassir Foundation (Lebanon).

EBTICAR-Media is co-funded by the European Union
