RTICLE 19, Deutsche Welle Akademie, Fondation Hirondelle, Free Press Unlimited, International Media Support, Reporters Without Borders and UNESCO have joined forces in a project called “COVID-19 Response in Africa: Together for Reliable Information”, funded by the European Commission’s Directorate-General for International Cooperation and Development (DG DEVCO).
Led by Free Press Unlimited, the consortium has been implementing this 18-month project since 1 August 2020. The aim of the project is to facilitate the dissemination of reliable, critical information about coronavirus – currently inaccessible to at-risk populations, as the operations of a number of independent media outlets in Sub-Saharan countries are being hampered by the pandemic.
