Grant Description

The USAID-funded Strengthening Independent Minority Media (SIMM) program supports minority-language broadcast media in Kosovo.

While providing assistance mainly to the Serbian language radio network KOSMA and Serbian language TV network TV Mreza, SIMM also encourages other minority language media efforts through production grants to team with the KOSMA network.

SIMM also supports the Minority Media Fund (MMF) in its efforts to fund minority media projects that increase the quantity and quality of information for minority communities and ensure sustainability of minority media outlets.
