Haiti

IMS was active in Haiti between 2003 - 2005 with the aim to assist journalists under threat. In collaboration with IMPACS, IMS supported media development  which included an Internet-based news service. In 2006 IMS and IMPACS developed a handbook on media coverage during elections. Following the earthquake in January 2010 IMS is assisting with humanitarian information expertise in collaboration with other media support organisations and as partner of The Communications for Disaster Affected Communities (CDAC) initiative in Haiti.
