Since the 90s, the political situation in Côte d'Ivoire has been particularly unsettled. And unfortunately, with each crisis, journalists have always been singled out as targets. Underlying these assaults on Ivorian journalists' and media professionals' physical and moral integrity is the widely held view that journalists do not always exercise their profession in a professional manner.

Depuis 1990, les périodes d’élection en Côte d’Ivoire, comme en témoigne l’élection présidentielle de 2010, constituent des moments d’extrêmes tensions, de violence et de conflits armés dont les victimes se comptent souvent par milliers.

The project falls within the framework of building the management capacities of the Comoé Biosphere Reserve by facilitating communication between management and the population. Since the inauguration of the station in May 2007,...
With support from the IPDC, the Agency was able to computerize its editorial office in 2001. Each regional office is also equipped with a micro-computer, a modem and a UPS. Thanks to this computerisation programme, the Agency been able to triple its daily production (some 40 to 50 dispatches a day). Dispatches, however, are devoid of illustrations, which would generate more interest on the part of the readership. Traditionally, a press agency's output consists of dispatches. Today, however, the enormous progress in new information technologies and the increasing needs of customers call for...
This project's objectives seek to create favourable conditions for the emergence of a free press and to contribute to promoting professionalism, responsibility and the mastery of legal texts governing media practice in Côte d'Ivoire.
