West African Media Development and Support Project
West African Media Development and Support Project
Building on its multi-year support for the media in Liberia, The Center for Peace, Democracy and Development has expanded its contacts with the media into Francophone countries. This June, Center Operations Director Michael Keating was invited by the U.S. State Department to give a series of lectures and seminars in Niger, Burkina Faso and Cote D'Ivoire. The goal of the project is to introduce digital media concepts into traditional media houses and to build working relationships between UMass Boston and institutes of higher learning throughout West Africa.
