Protecting Independent Media for Effective Development (PRIMED)

Protecting Independent Media for Effective Development (PRIMED) is a 3-year programme to support the provision of public interest media in Bangladesh, Ethiopia and Sierra Leone, beginning in October 2020 and funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO). MDIF is partnering with a consortium of media development organisations led by BBC Media Action (BBC MA). MDIF has Ethiopia as its main target country, focusing on capacity building and mentoring of selected media organisations, with the aim of increasing their sustainability and strengthening their ability to provide the public with accurate, balanced information that enables them to make informed decisions.
