Support to media in Pakistan

Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark, Danida

In Pakistan, Denmark will support the professionalization and strengthening of media in a two-year period between 2015 and 2016 with a maximum budget of 20 million DKK.
The support will strengthen the professional capacity of the country's media, especially in the provinces.
Overall, two key themes are prioritized for programmatic intervention.
They are:
1. Support capacity building of media professionals so that the quality of coverage of relevant news improves (print, radio, television, and to an extent online media).
This capacity building spans content, skills and safety of media professionals (including physical and digital safety of those reporting on ethnic conflict, sectarian violence, religious tensions and fractured politics of Pakistan). The Programme will meet international standards, while being responsive to real needs and priorities on the ground.
2. Supporting the improvement of the legal and regulatory framework for media, and strengthening of professional codes of ethics, in accordance with international norms, but also relevant to the local context.
There is an urgent need to forge alliances amongst various media stakeholders in the country so as to come to an agreement on framework, application and adoption of regulatory codes and ethics.
The program design is based on an assessment of the role media plays in the current socioeconomic and political context, an assessment of the role media can play in the prevention of ethnic and political violence and in the promotion of democracy and human rights in the region.
The contract is for an implementing entity that will be responsible for overall programme implementation, including the technical quality of the programme and the preparation, implementation, and monitoring of support provided to a number of implementing partners.
This support will be provided through a fund mechanism, and the implementing entity will be responsible for the set-up and administration of the fund.
The partner selection will take place during the inception phase.
The programme is part of the Danish development cooperation with Pakistan.
Some of the experts needed, will be required to be fluent in Urdu.
