Historic agreement signed between Myanmar
Ministry of Information
and international NGO
The Ministry of Information of Myanmar
and International Media Support (IMS) are set to sign an agreement on 23
November to cement their cooperation on media reform and development
The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)
commits the Ministry of Information and IMS to work together on a number of
activities tied to IMS’ three year media development programme “Media
Development in Support of Democratic Governance and National Reconciliation in
Myanmar”, funded by Denmark, Sweden and Norway. The MoU marks a new period of
cooperation and support between a Myanmar government ministry and international
media development organisations.
Deputy Minister H.E U Ye Htut said:
“ The reform of the Ministry of
Information in the public service media’s transforming process will be
implemented faster by cooperation and coordination with IMS under this MoU.”
Director of IMS, Jesper Højberg said:
“This agreement cements our partnership
and is an important step in the continued work for media reform and development
of the media sector in Myanmar.”
The two parties will cooperate on the
media reform process initiated by the MOI under the MoU effective from the date
of signing until late 2015.
The areas of cooperation include working
to ensure good coordination amongst national media actors, the government,
donors and media development organisations. Focus is also on establishing and
implementing a legal framework for media-related laws by supporting the
consultations and drafting of laws that impact on media and Freedom of
Expression in Myanmar.
Both parties are also committed to
supporting initiatives of Myanmar media that will help media fullfil its role
as the fourth estate. This entails capacity-building of journalistic skills and
ensuring outreach of media to rural areas to widen the scope of informed
citizens and improve access to information. Also government institutions will
receive capacity support to enhance and improve access to information to the
public.
Since January 2012, IMS has worked
directly with the MOI, journalist associations, civil society groups and other
international and national partners to support the media reform process in
Myanmar. The second phase of the IMS programme (September 2012 – August 2015)
aims to assist the Government of Myanmar, the media and other relevant
stakeholders in building a sustainable media environment which supports a
democratic transition process.
