The aim of this project is to empower local media in Ukraine. A robust, independent local media sector that aligns with EU values could promote Ukraine’s European integration, transparency, accountability, as well as fight corruption at the local level.
Local media in Ukraine today face several key challenges such as political influence, lack of economic sustainability, disinformation and war related safety and security concerns. They need to transform their operating models and focus more on helping their audience understand and navigate the issues they face. This transformation, however, requires resources and support.
This preparation project will conduct needs and stakeholder analyses, a funding analysis, and design the main components of a training programme.
