In 2022, we expanded our geographic scope to support independent media in Central Europe with an aim to help media become more resilient in the face of ever more challenging domestic contexts. Our Central Europe Media Resilience Programme was fully funded by the US and the termination of our contract by USAID means we can no longer continue this important work for now.
Media in Central Europe, particularly in countries such as Slovakia and Hungary, are facing ever more hostility and we encourage the broader donor community to continue supporting free and fearless journalism in this part of the world.
