1. Strengthen watchdog journalism and media reporting for accountability; 2. Enhance media pluralism and diversity; 3. Improve the policy, legal and regulatory environment for the media; and 4. Increase media literacy and promote fact-driven action by consumers.The program seeks to find innovative ways to help the media encourage democratic and accountable governance, reveal corrupt practices and illicit financial flows, and promote constructive dialogue to make democratic processes more accessible to citizens.
Program implementation strategies and approaches are expected to be flexible and innovative to respond to challenges and dynamics in Zimbabwe as they evolve.
