Media Strengthening Program (Nicaragua):  The Media Strengthening Program (MSP) promotes quality and excellence among Nicaraguan journalists committed to freedom of expression and press and independent media as cornerstones of democracy. MSP expands and raises the quality of investigative, in-depth journalism in a closing space through capacity-building, innovation, collaboration, and networking. As the Government of Nicaragua (GON) continues to repress civil liberties and attempts to shut down independent media, MSP provides technical advice, equipment, and production grants to allow at-risk journalists, both in country and in exile, to hold the powerful accountable. MSP will foster collaborative journalism, media hubs, and alliances between Nicaraguan journalists and international media outlets and networks. MSP will work with journalists from nascent digital projects and from traditional media, training them on investigative journalism to expose human rights violations, corruption, and the undermining of democratic institutions. MSP will assist independent media and journalists to improve their physical, digital, mental and emotional safety.  As the organization created to carry on the legacy of a prominent Nicaraguan press freedom advocate, FLED (formerly, Fundaci&oacute;n Violeta Barrios de Chamorro) is well positioned to support journalists' role in ensuring Nicaraguans' continued access to fact-based information while countering the regime's disinformation and promoting democratic change. ...MSP supports: 1) The U.S. NSS (October 2022) priority to foster democracy and shared prosperity in the Western Hemisphere; 2) the Embassy's ICS (March 2022), Mission Objective 1.1: The Nicaraguan government guarantees human rights, the rule of law, and fair political competition; and 3) USAID/Nicaragua's Development Objective: Environment for Nicaragua's democratic transition enabled..

Victims of human rights abuses will receive psychosocial assistance to deal with trauma and reintegrate into social and political life. AHRDC will train social movements, youth, and human rights defenders to document cases of violations that lay the groundwork for future transitional justice initiatives, at a national and international level, in an eventual transition to democracy. AHRDC will also promote the rights of indigenous people and support youth, gender equality and women's empowerment by creating dialogue spaces and strengthening international advocacy. AHRDC also will enhance beneficiaries' cybersecurity capabilities through training, hardware, and software assistance.

Lifting Nicaragua Voices (Nicaragua):  The Ortega-Murillo regime has shut down nearly 3,500 Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) since 2018. The remaining CSOs operate in an increasingly closed space suffering extreme and permanent harassment. Lifting Nicaraguan Voices (LNV) strengthens the independent voice and effectiveness of CSOs, promotes innovation, including using information and communications technology, and improves CSO outreach to Nicaraguans at home and in exile. To support those remaining independent voices, LNV will create spaces for citizen oversight and mechanisms to highlight and denounce regime corruption and its adverse effects on Nicaraguan society. LNV will train CSOs -including those operating in exile - to document and report human rights violations and government-sanctioned violence. LNV will bolster cybersecurity and disseminate targeted messaging using digital and traditional communication channels.
