Media Dialogue (Kyrgyzstan)

This project aimed to solidify the national media environment and to engage media representatives, public decision makers and civil society in a dialogue about the challenges affecting the media sector. This dialogue was to be led in the hope of jointly developing a roadmap to amend the existing media policy and legal framework. To achieve this three pathways were privileged: multi-stakeholder dialogue, enhanced media professionalisation and reinforcement of the media’s economic independence. To this effect workshops, dialogue meetings and technical assistance were set up and studies, reports, monitoring of media were conducted. Furthermore sub-grants and legal reforms were put on the table.

INSPIRED Myanmar

This project sought to offer a sustainable and constructive solution for enhancing the role of civil society in public and policy affairs in cooperation with local authorities. Following the parliamentary elections in 2010, civil society had gained increased operating space as well as an opportunity to participate in political developments in Myanmar. However these CSOs lacked the strategic focus and capacity to formulate and execute their visions, in part as a consequence of pre-set donor narratives for country based funding. INSPIRED Myanmar sought to help provide an alternative.

This project aimed at supporting local actors in nine countries in identifying, analysing and monitoring domestic policies liable to hinder the implementation of the UN and ILO conventions relevant to the EU’s Generalised Scheme of Preferences Plus (GSP+). The nine INSPIRED+ locally led policy dialogues contributed to the nurturing of trust between stakeholders as well as to increased capacities of CSOs and social partners in monitoring and advocacy. This ultimately led to the adoption of locally owned roadmaps towards the full implementation of the relevant UN and ILO conventions.

Strengthening civil society’s contribution to political and economic dialogue

This project sought to strengthen the contribution of Tunisian civil society to political and economic dialogue. Furthermore it was designed to contribute to the consolidation of the rule of law, democratisation and socio-economic development. In order to achieve this the project attempted to strengthen the operational capacities of Tunisian civil society organisations to empower them to more effectively perform their role in the framework of the democratic transition and economic development of the country. Including through concrete field actions. The project also planned to work on improving the institutional environment Tunisian civil society operated in through the operation procedures, legislative and regulatory texts as well as the capacity of their national partners whether state or local authorities; all factors that govern the intervention of civil society in Tunisia.
