We believe that an independent news media serve as a citizen educator, public forum and watchdog of government, and is a necessary element of democratization, especially in conflict-stressed societies.

We believe that working with local partners is the best way to ensure our services are appropriate to the situation and credible to the participants.

Training local trainers ensures that our work will continue to have an impact long after each specific project is completed.

In their design, all media development projects should integrate sophisticated monitoring, evaluation and impact assessment.

Election training must start with indigenous media well ahead of voting day and continue afterwards.

Our work is guided by an anti-discrimination policy and a conflict of interest code.

Our operations are conducted with transparency and integrity.
