Angela Nicoara

Angela Nicoara serves as Chief of Party for the Azerbaijan New Media Project (ANMP).

The project builds upon the foundation established by IREX in the last phase of USAID's Media Advancement Program for Azerbaijan by expanding professional and citizen journalists' coverage of critical content; developing information-based ties among communities, NGOs and Azerbaijani citizens; and growing a constituency of media-literate citizens supportive of free speech rights in new and traditional media.

Angela has more than 15 years of experience in journalism and international program administration. She previously served as a chief of party in Serbia, Sudan, Rwanda and Sri Lanka. Angela worked as a freelance reporter and media trainer in Romania, Russia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Indonesia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, the United Kingdom and the United States. Angela has a master's degree in coexistence and conflict from Brandeis University.
