Against this backdrop we are working with a range of partners, including national, regional and local broadcasters, media professionals and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) to engage new audiences.
Together, we are using mass media and communication to:
- Improve sexual and reproductive health, maternal and child health and prevent infectious diseases
- Help citizens hold their governments to account and facilitate free and fair elections
- Promote peace and conflict resolution
- Help people improve their earning potential through education
- Reduce the risk of natural disasters
In the process, we are helping to build and strengthen the Asian media sector through extensive media training programmes.
