Enabling Environment for Media and Free Flow of Information

Strengthen normative-legal-regulatory frameworks that enable free media, open information access and freedoms of expression.

Advocate for, support, and protect professional and citizen-generated media subject to harassment, restriction, intimidation, imprisonment and/or closure for reporting on sensitive issues; support self-regulatory mechanisms as well as reforms of state-owned media into private or public service systems.

Strengthen advocacy capacity, digital and physical security awareness and response capabilities, and networking for information, media and related organizations to promote, protect and defend Internet freedom, media independence and freedoms of expression; including but not limited to online, national, and regional initiatives.
