The GFMD regional meeting aims to provide a unique space for members and partners based and working in the wider European region. This meeting will follow the conclusion of the IPI World Congress and Media Innovation Festival that is taking place in Sarajevo from May 22nd to May 24th, 2024.
Preliminary discussion topics
We would like to use this opportunity to:
Present to donors, media assistance implementers, and policymakers active in the region recently adopted OECD DAC Development Cooperation Principles on Relevant and Effective Support to Media and the Information Environment as a result of consultations and advocacy led by GFMD and CIMA and relevant recommendations, resources and tools for their implementation.
Within the context of the principles, provide donors, funders, policy-makers, and media development practitioners attending the 2024 IPI World Congress and Media Innovation Festival a forum to share information about their programmes and strategies, to provide mapping about media development and journalism support strategies, programming, funding, and advocacy.
Improve relations and knowledge between GFMD members and partners to increase collaboration and identify areas for collective advocacy work on policies that affect media and information integrity.
If you have academic research, reports, and/or evaluation papers documenting what works and what does not work in media development in the region, please add them to the second sheet of this mapping spreadsheet or send them to ivbjelic@gfmd.info. We will include these in our literature review. The spreadsheet access is closed, with access granted upon request.
If you are interested in attending the Sarajevo regional meeting, please subscribe to our Europe mailing list by sending an email to EUROPE+subscribe@gfmd.groups.io, and keep an eye out for updates, announcements, and logistical details. We will also be using the list to solicit your feedback and suggestions for the programme and the agenda.
