Full Project Title
Supporting Investigative Reporting in Local Media & Strengthening Civil Society Across Afghanistan
Project Purpose
To encourage a culture of constructive public debate and critical thinking in Afghanistan by developing a networked and professionalised local media sector across platforms that values in-depth reporting and promotes good governance and the rule of law.
