Program Objectives: The objectives of this program are: To strengthen Kosovan civil society organizations' and independent media organizations’ capacity to counter cyberattacks, thereby strengthening their ability to better hold government institutions (national and local) accountable, increase transparency, and provide unbiased information that informs the public. To develop the capacity of Kosovo “white hat” ethical hackers and ethical hacker organizations not only to identify weaknesses and help partners fortify against them, but also improve communication skills needed to educate partners and the public about the potential for malign actors to gain access to critical infrastructure and information. Successful proposals must have and include: A network of ethical hackers able to test media partners’ and civil society partners’ online infrastructure At least 10-20 sustainable partnerships with media outlets and civil society partners willing to participate in the program and share best practices with other organizations. (Note: a significant number of these partnerships should include Kosovan underserved minority communities, i.e. Romani, Egyptian, Ashkali, Gorani, Bosniak, Turks, Serb, etc. The term “underserved community” is defined in the Executive Order on Advancing Racial Equity and Underserved Communities. End Note). Innovative projects to educate media partners and civil society organization partners on how to identify, respond to, and fortify their online infrastructure. Innovative communication strategies and campaigns to increase awareness around these issues with other independent media, civil society organizations, and other Kosovo audiences.
