About this event

  • Event lasts 1 day 8 hours

In these turbulent times, when the challenges facing the sector are growing, there sometimes seems to be a widening gap between media assistance and the actual development of the media in developing and transition countries. Sometimes spectacular setbacks have wiped out years of effort.
Building on the work of the working group launched last year to develop avenues for improvement, Symposium 2024 will be organised around four themes identified as cross-cutting issues for much-needed reform of the sector:

We will be exchanging information, examining specific cases of good and not-so-good practice and discussing potential solutions to these challenges, with industry experts, donor representatives and academics from the international community. The entire conference will be conducted in English.
