IPDC recently underwent a number of important reforms to gain maximum efficiency in programme administration, funding and relevance of projects.
In line with the new reforms, priority is given to projects promoting press freedom and media pluralism, development of community media, enhancing professional capacity and building partnerships for media improvements. Following the General Conference decision the IPDC Council will now meet bi-annually while its Bureau is assigned to take full responsibility in selecting and financing projects.
The reforms allow UNESCO Advisers based in field offices to assume greater responsibilities to realize more effective quality media development projects that empower people to gain equitable access to knowledge and express themselves through free and pluralistic media.
