Afghanistan Media Development and Empowerment Project (AMDEP)

The goal of this activity is to address several key gaps in Afghanistan's professional media development, focusing on building Afghan capacity to meet what are considered universal journalistic standards. Strengthening independent media is integral to supporting democratic development in Afghanistan. The growth and sustainability of a diverse and uniquely Afghan media industry are top USAID priorities. A comprehensive media development strategy is essential for outreach to the provinces, capicity building at all levels and expansion of the availability of reliable information that allows Afghans to make informed choices about goods, services, their government and the future of Afghanistan.
