BBC Media Action uses media and communications to help reduce poverty and suffering in developing countries. Our aim is to inform, connect and empower people around the world. To achieve this, BBC Media Action partners with civil society, local media and governments to:
- Produce creative programmes in multi-media formats which inform and engage audiences around key development issues.
- Strengthen the media sector through building professional capacity and infrastructure.
