Central Asia
In Central Asia IMS supports activities that improve access to professional media content, as well as strengthen knowledge and skills amongst media workers. Difficult economic conditions and political environments pose challenges to the development of independent media in the countries of Central Asia. Nevertheless, the demand for professional media content from the general public is strong, as clearly shown by the results of the research and activities undertaken by IMS in the region.
