With this policy meeting, we aim to provide a platform to debrief on the Summit of the Future, which took place on September 21 and 22, 2024, as well as to identify key upcoming opportunities to influence key global policies. Among these opportunities, we have identified the WSIS+20 Review, but we would also like to zoom in on different regional initiatives and key developments on the regional and national fora.
This session aims to equip GFMD members and partners with actionable insights on how to navigate these opportunities to advance advocacy efforts on media freedom, public interest journalism and digital governance. This policy meeting is part of GFMD’s approach to enhancing strategic collaboration among its members and partners. GFMD aims to create a shared space to support and ensure meaningful participation of organisations in shaping media and digital policies by:
Sharing resources and knowledge
Enhancing capacity and effectiveness of organisations working on policy and advocacy
Inclusion of local perspectives in decision-making processes
Coordinating and supporting joint policy and advocacy initiatives.
Bringing a multistakeholder approach and strategic partnerships to solving media and digital policy challenges
Why is this process important for the media and journalism community?
What are the needs or requests of the media and journalism community in respect of this process?
How should the community engage for this process, and what is needed to include local perspectives and enhance the capacity and effectiveness of our policy work around this process?
