The contract seeks a subcontractor to design and deliver comprehensive training workshops for journalists across Indonesia, focusing on investigative reporting, digital safety, and ethical journalism. The work includes developing tailored curricula and conducting on-the-ground training sessions in multiple regions to ensure broad regional reach and cultural relevance. The program aims to strengthen journalistic capacity by equipping reporters with practical skills in uncovering complex stories, protecting digital identities, and adhering to international ethical standards. All activities must be implemented in alignment with U.S. diplomatic objectives through the U.S. Mission to Indonesia, under the Department of State. Submission deadline for proposals is September 2, 2026, and the contract falls under NAICS code 541611 for management, scientific, and technical consulting services. The effort is structured as a subcontract with no set-aside provisions, and performance will occur entirely within Indonesia. Although no specific point of contact or physical office address is listed, the initiative is driven by U.S. foreign policy goals to support a free, independent, and resilient press in Indonesia. The training must be scalable, responsive to local media environments, and demonstrably impact the quality and safety of journalistic practices nationwide.
