Andrew Apostolou, senior program manager at Freedom House, says that, for the most part, the United States was late to the party. “The Dutch were the pioneers in this field, allocating money for Iranian civil society in 2004,” he says. “The U.S. only committed large amounts as of 2006, and most of that was for broadcast media. Civil society is a long-term investment.”
