The Media Foundation for West Africa (MFWA) is a regional, independent, non-partisan and non-governmental organization that works to promote freedom of expression and media development across West Africa. For the past 24 years, MFWA has worked with governmental and non-governmental actors, as well as partners at national, regional and international levels, to contribute to the improvement of the media and freedom of expression landscape in West Africa. More details about the MFWA can be found on our website www.mfwa.org.
The MFWA has received a grant from the European Union for a three-year media strengthening project in Guinea-Bissau. The project is entitled: Promoting Media Freedom and Access to Quality Information in Guinea-Bissau and its overall objective is to ensure that: Journalists and other media actors in Guinea-Bissau are safe and secure, and produce ethical, timely and fact-based journalistic content that promotes peaceful coexistence and enables public access to quality information in an environmentally sustainable manner.
As part of the project, the MFWA is carrying out a baseline study in Guinea-Bissau to assess the situation of human rights, freedom of the press, freedom of expression and the organizational capacity of media actors in the country.
The MFWA is therefore looking for a Consultant with the necessary expertise to carry out this mission. Read more about the application here.
