Introduction
An open civic space empowers people to come together, voice their needs, demand accountability, and fight for justice.
Mobilizing the power of people to overcome poverty and injustice is at the heart of Oxfam’s mission and vision. To realize this vision, people need space to speak out and organize against injustice and the root causes of poverty, without fear of repercussions.
Oxfam International is committed to empowering civil society actors to drive change even in places where civic space is obstructed. We are committed to building the media forum and ensuring there are opportunities for Asian journalists to expand their networks and explore themes, from inequality and climate justice to combating misinformation.
The Asia Media Forum has one objective - to be a meeting point for journalists working for an equitable Asia and offer them opportunity to connect beyond local and national bubbles.
Last year, under the theme ‘Let’s Talk Equality’ we successfully brought together 20 senior and mid-career journalists from various countries.
In 2024, the forum will feature journalists from across Asia, nominated by those who attended last year’s event, as well as nominations from our partners and colleagues familiar with the forum’s objectives. Oxfam colleagues who manage communications across various countries will also participate. Additionally, we will be joined by partners and stakeholders working on media narratives and press freedom, bringing diverse insights and expertise to the discussions.
OBJECTIVE
Oxfam International will employ the services of an organization with experience of building media networks, training journalists on fact-checking, carrying out research and conducting sessions for the Asia Media Forum on 19th November- 20th November.
