The MFWA has received a grant from the European Union for a three-year project to support the media sector in Guinea-Bissau. The project is entitled: “Promoting Press Freedom and Access to Quality Information in Guinea-Bissau”.
General objective of the project:
The project aims to ensure that journalists and other media actors in Guinea-Bissau are safe and protected, and produce ethical, timely and fact-based journalistic content that promotes peaceful coexistence and allows public access to quality information in an environmentally sustainable manner.
The project in Guinea-Bissau is also collaborating with key state actors/institutions, such as the police, military, regulatory bodies, the judiciary and the human rights commission; media actors and media organizations to increase their knowledge of human rights and media issues and build partnerships to promote and protect press freedom and freedom of expression in the country.
Purpose/Scope of the Consultancy Task
The aim of this call is to develop a common website to be used by four (4) media players in Guinea-Bissau (Sindicato dos Jornalistas e Técnicos de Comunicação, SINJOTECS, Rede Nacional das Rádios e Televisões Comunitárias, RENARC, Associação das Mulheres Profissionais da Comunicação Social, AMPROCS, Ordem dos Jornalistas da Guiné-Bissau, OJGB).
It is hoped that the website will serve as a comprehensive site for media and press freedom issues in the country, allowing the media actors listed above to share information.
