Given the current emergency situation in Yemen and the various responses of the different parties, UNESCO, within its mandate to promote freedom of expression and free access to information, and as part of its ongoing efforts to support media in Yemen, in cooperation with the Global Forum for Media Development (GFMD), the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ), and BBC Media Action, held a 5-day event in Amman Jordan between 21 and 25 January, 2016. This significant step towards a coordinated action comes under the overall project: “Promoting Freedom of Expression in Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Syria, Tunisia and Yemen” funded by the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland.
