To support the independent public interest media sector IMS has launched an open call for core financial support targeting well established, independent media outlets with stable operational and production capacities. The financial support will be combined with needs-based capacity building, training, coaching and mentoring and opportunities for networking and collaboration. The aim is to support media outlets in planning for organisational development, exploring revenue generation activities, as well as improving managerial and editorial practices, as well as ensure greater business viability and exploring revenue generation streams.

The call is a part of a larger programme which is co-funded by the EU, supporting independent media outlet in the Middle East and North Africa, namely Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Palestine, Syria and Tunisia.
