MEDIA ASSESSMENT IN HAITI USING THE MEDIA DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS
The project proposes to implement an assessment of media development in Haiti (LCD) based on UNESCO’s Media Development Indicators (MDIs) and using the Gender-Sensitive Indicators for Media (GSIM) to foreground gender dimension throughout the assessment.
The results would be an important tool for guiding the efforts of national actors working in the area of media development and legislation, including lawyers and policy makers. Such a study will provide an up-to-date state of arts of national media landscape and a comprehensive analysis of the current media situation including gender issues, which is not available now. It will allow identifying fields that should be improved and suggesting the right direction to take for correcting the course of current and further reforms. It may also serve as an instrument for mobilizing further collaboration and funding from potential donors.
