AGENDA
Aim
To map and share information between journalism support and media development actors around their plans for media development and recovery activities and efforts in Lebanon.
The focus of this, the second coordination meeting, is media sustainability and viability.
Previous activities
Coordination meetings: The first meeting was held on October 26th 2020 gathering over 35 media development actors with experience of working in Lebanon and implementing recovery assistance programs in the explosion aftermath.
Mapping: To support ongoing coordination GFMD compiled a spreadsheet that lists the organisations invited to participate in the information-sharing initiative, which provides a background for each organisation, an overview of their projects in the MENA region, and outlines their Lebanon recovery efforts.
