Zimbabwe

IMS is giving support to help media in Zimbabwe overcome increasingly difficult working conditions following the political and economic turbulence in the country in recent years. In close collaboration with local media, regional and international media organisations, IMS brokered the formulation of a joint strategy for support to media in Zimbabwe. Direct support to media includes financial support to Radio Voice of People (VOP) in Harare which was bombed and its staff taken to court.
