Draft strategic plan (2021-2025)

Supporting journalism and media development through collaboration, knowledge exchange, and advocacy.

This document sets out the strategic objectives for the Global Forum for Media Development until the end of 2025, drawing on input from the Steering Committee, members, partners, and experts from the wider network.

It recognises the fundamental requirement to assess the needs and interests of GFMD members on a rolling basis and to develop programmes that respond directly and promptly to these needs.

This Strategic Plan will help to define and focus GFMD’s programmes and core activities over the coming 4 year period.

The indicators for success presented in this document will enable the GFMD secretariat to continually monitor and evaluate the resonance of related activities, thereby ensuring that they can be recalibrated, where necessary, to reflect changing circumstances.

This draft strategic plan will be presented for discussion at a special session of the GFMD General Assembly on 1 October 2021. For more details and to find out how to participate see:
