MSP April – June 2016 Quarterly Report

RESULT 1 – PROFESSIONAL CAPACITY BUILDING

The big picture: Over the course of the program, the professional capacity building program component has increasingly concentrated on two main lines of action: (a) working with young and emerging journalists through the Media Lab program and (b) working with experienced journalists through a structured mentorship program. These two efforts offer complementary approaches to capacity building. The former is focused on intensive and in- depth training, feedback and follow up of emerging journalists over an extended period of time (10 months), whereas the latter is focused on coaching and mentorship of seasoned journalists on an individualized, customized and focused basis over shorter periods of time (3-6 months). In both cases, the work of IREX Media Specialists has a strong practical orientation, with all training, coaching and mentoring building on a foundation of practical work carried out by the participants. All activities for these two broad categories of program beneficiaries use five selected cross-cutting themes as a foundation for the interventions: health, gender, trafficking in persons, extractive industries and the environment (an umbrella term which includes biodiversity, wildlife trafficking, conservation and the effects of climate change). The interaction with participants involve extensive feedback, which is delivered either individually or collectively (i.e., as provided by a larger group). In either case, the feedback loops are designed to stimulate a process of ongoing improvement. By focusing on these two groups, less experienced and more experienced journalists, MSP seeks to build capacity in different sectors of the labor market: among those who are trying to break into the market and among those who are already established. There are positive synergies generated between the two groups, for example when members of the more experienced group decide to mentor members of the less experienced group.

Some summary points – professional capacity building:  The 5th Media Lab program, an intensive ten-month journalism training, ended with the graduation of 26 participants, and in parallel, the recruitment for the next cohort started.  The first mentorship cycle on biodiversity and wildlife trafficking ended, with reports generated on topics such as poaching and the use of marine resources.  While the Media Lab and the mentorship programs are the mainstay of basic capacity building activities, other specialized courses are being developed and implemented.

(A) MEDIA LAB PROGRAM

The 5th iteration of the Media Lab program graduated 26 participants at the end of June, in a graduation ceremony attended by US Ambassador Dean Pittman, among others. The event marked the conclusion of a ten-month vocational training program aimed at developing strong journalism skills, attitudes and values in the group. At the same time as the 2015- 2016 Media Lab graduates got ready to move on, recruitment started for the next cohort. Building on the experience gained over the implementation period, the recruitment process was refined in various aspects, for example in the specificity of the testing of applicants, with the objective of attracting increasingly more qualified applicants. This is part of a longer term strategy aimed at turning the Media Lab into an elite program for the best qualified and motivated university graduates, thus improving the overall level in the media sector and increasing the prestige associated with it. We believe we are on the right path with regard to this and count on a gradual improvement in the quality of participants. Of the 26 graduates, some 18 had already obtained employment by the end of the quarter, 10 of whom had been recruited by SOICO, the leading independent media company in Mozambique. The employment numbers will be updated in the next quarterly report, 22 graduates overall had accepted employment by mid-August, and eight of the ten SOICO offers were accepted. The other two SOICO recruits accepted other job offers instead, from MISA and an NGO focused on communication. As a regular and integrated part of the Media Lab process, the program was analyzed with the objective of identifying areas of improvement, increased effectiveness and higher impact. Some of the points from the analysis follow further below. Page 4 of 37

MSP April – June 2016 Quarterly Report

Some highlights from the quarter include the formation of a company by three of the Media Lab graduates. The company is called Media 21 and will focus on developing new media businesses online, including a pay-per-read function. Under the guidance of MSP staff, the three graduates have been working on their business ideas and have put in place the basic components of an operation. For the time being, IREX is offering office space for the three, but as the company grows, it will move to its own premises.

Over the quarter, the Media Lab participants learnt in-depth interviewing techniques and produced 60-minute filmed interviews. The interview training involved practice in preparing, researching and carrying out an interview, which was recorded live and edited subsequently. The exercise focused on the topic of premature marriages and addressed the issue from different angles. As part of the broader journalist training, the participants were also trained in live broadcasting on TV, through the production of three programs, each lasting approximately 15 minutes. In the process, they had to understand and analyze all steps in the process and address challenges as they arose, thus learning to deal with technical and programmatic issues in a real life environment. In the final phase of the Media Lab program, the participants received in-depth training in content analysis, through a one-week course in the MCAT media content analysis tool. The training helped increase the understanding of the structural elements of a news story and the requirements for a strong story.

a) A multidisciplinary approach to learning

While this is already happening to some extent, learning content will increasingly be communicated in a multidisciplinary fashion. All learning is focused on preparing and enabling the participants to master all steps in the media production value chain, even if they intend to focus on a specific function or specialize in a specific area. This is in itself driven by the increased media convergence, and the need for each emerging journalist to be able to master all aspects of the trade. Employers and employment trends are clear that journalists are expected to fulfill multiple and different functions depending on needs.

b) Participant involvement in the learning process

One of the key success factors of the Media Lab program is the active involvement of the participants in the learning process. This involves, for example, an extensive use of peer feedback, which has proven to be more effective in increasing quality of performance and outputs than regular teacher to student feedback. Taking into consideration the differences in qualifications of each participant, the group will continue to be actively involved in the planning and careful calibration of learning activities, so as to maximize the effectiveness of those learning processes.

c) Increased requirements and rigor with regard to language

MSP has a disadvantaged starting point vis-à-vis media sectors in other countries in the sense that most students and, indeed, many journalists, lack the foundational language training needed for effective communication and writing. As of the next cycle, the process of improving basic language skills, for example through the systematic elimination of typical errors, will be intensified. This is important so that time is not lost on basic training, that one would normally assume to be in place, but rather spent on higher cognitive processes and tasks that require reflection and thoughtful analysis.

d) Elimination of recurrent errors

During the program, MSP worked systematically to reduce and eliminate recurrent errors of all types, from language to process errors. Several tools, such as style guides and quick guides, will be provided to the new Media Lab to accelerate the elimination of errors.

MSP April – June 2016 Quarterly Report

e) Strengthening of production routines

During the program, it proved to be harder to implement and follow agreed production routines than to impart and acquire new skills. The group had difficulty in following basic routines, using templates and respecting deadlines and processes. In order to maximize the effectiveness and efficiency of the training, however, such routines will be implemented with greater force and will be enforced.

f) Ensuring high quality of content

In order to ensure a consistently high quality of content produced, it will be checked more frequently and more thoroughly prior to publication. This will increasingly be done through peer review in which other members of the team critique the material that has been produced and modifications are made. A series of quality filters will be put in place in order to track problems, solutions and improvements.

Journalism trainees successfully conclude the Media Lab program In an event that took place at the end of June to mark the conclusion of the ten-month Media Lab practical training program for young journalists, U.S. Ambassador Dean Pittman presented certificates of participation to 26 journalism trainees and observed some of the work outputs produced by them. The event took place at the IREX office. The latest issue of the Media Lab TV news journal was shown, and a summary presentation of the eight practice newspapers and the web page produced by the group were presented. The Media Lab is a demanding, high-intensity vocational program that aims to develop strong journalism skills ranging from technical skills to higher cognitive skills and analytical thinking, all developed through situational learning and practical application. “You have the tools, but journalists also need courage,” commented Ambassador Pittman in his talk to the journalism trainees. “The Media Lab has made me understand and believe that journalism can influence how society develops and help change things for the better,” said Sheila Magumane, one of the journalism trainees, echoing thoughts shared by Ambassador Pittman in his comments. A new Media Lab cycle will start in August of this year, and participants are already being recruited for this program. IREX is seeking high-caliber, highly motivated university graduates who wish to pursue a career in journalism.

Leading independent media company SOICO hires ten Media Lab journalism trainees Ten participants in the highly competitive Media Lab journalism training program were hired by SOICO, a leading independent media company in Mozambique, upon the conclusion of their training. The journalism trainees graduated from their internship at IREX in June, in a ceremony attended by U.S. Ambassador Dean Pittman, and received certificates confirming their successful completion of the program. The training is designed to bridge the gap between the theory learnt in school and the practice required in the field by providing active and situational learning opportunities. “Media Lab participants operate in a dynamic environment, with the opportunity to develop practical skills and work with experienced media professionals,” says Rui Lamarques, one of Lab Media Lab instructors. Of the 26 Media Lab participants, 16 had obtained relevant job offers within two weeks of completing the program, including three who won a grant to start up their own online media business. IREX is currently preparing for the next Media Lab, which starts in August. Applicants need to be university graduates and top performers in their field, with a strong motivation to pursue a career in journalism and a desire to contribute to the development of society.

(B) COACHING AND MENTORING OF SEASONED JOURNALISTS

During the quarter, MSP tested out and expanded a new mentorship model, which consisted of a dual track mentorship program involving one technical expert and one journalism expert. The focus of the mentorship program was biodiversity and wildlife trafficking, and the technical expert was Carlos Serra Jr., a lawyer and well-known entity in the field, whereas the journalism expert was Ricardo Mendes, Director of Capacity Building. The mentorship program involved ten journalists, and the training started with a joint session followed by individual and customized coaching and follow-up of the journalists. This work followed the established mentorship model and content of other MSP mentorships. In this cycle, extra emphasis was placed on each journalist developing a strong portfolio of knowledge and produced materials within the thematic field. The joint model, of one technical and one journalism expert, worked very well and is likely to be continued in future mentorship cycles. The lack of financial resources to carry out research for the reports was identified as a real and growing need, and there is a growing acknowledgement by IREX that more direct sponsorship of journalists will be needed to achieve the desired outcomes, as neither the newsrooms nor the individual journalists have the means to pay for travel and other costs. During the quarter, a relationship was also developed with CTV, an environmentally oriented organization, and this relationship will be developed in future quarters.

MSP April – June 2016 Quarterly Report

RESULT 2 – BUSINESS OPERATIONS

The big picture: Over the quarter, the strategy of customizing assistance through targeted consultancies, specialized trainings and grants funding continued, with the adoption of new partners and the scaling back and/or phasing out of some previous partners, whose processes had come to a natural conclusion. The customized assistance approach builds on the principle that every media business faces a slightly different set of circumstances and challenges. The targeted consultancies, in particular, contributed to develop a sense of trust required for the successful implementation of operational changes. These efforts are all aimed at strengthening the long-term financial sustainability of Mozambican media businesses by increasing their revenue potential (top line) and improving their operational efficiency and cost effectiveness.

Strategic adjustments: At the beginning of the previous quarter, IREX analyzed its work with media business partners and generally concluded that most partnerships do not yield the maximum potential improvement or output, often due to resistance, hesitation or other psychological factors in ownership and management. As a consequence of this, IREX decided to evolve the previous “whole outlet approach”, which focused on re-engineering and/or developing many different aspects of an entire operation, into a more surgical approach focusing on high impact interventions. Those interventions focus on (a) marketing, (b) design and (c) digital media.

a) New Media Initiative

As part of its cost share contribution for MSP, IREX is making available $50,000 in digital innovation funds to be made available as seed funding for entrepreneurial ideas within the online digital space (e.g., apps, portals, web sites that generate revenue and are sustainable over time). In the quarter, IREX carried out an open and public competition for projects to be implemented under what has been named the New Media Iniative (NMI). Through request for proposal announcements (RFP) in the Noticias newspaper, and through advertising via online and social media channels, six finalists were selected from a pool of 55 applicants to participate in an intensive training sequence (boot camp) at the end of June. The competitors submitted proposals for new media initiatives and business ideas, and the finalists were selected by a jury consisting of two IREX staff members (Arild Drivdal and Ricardo Mendes) and two non-IREX external judges (Joao Ribeiro and Frederico da Silva). At the end of the boot camp, three winners were selected, but all finalists received ample and detailed feedback on their ideas and were encouraged to continue to develop them. Of the three winners, one group of three young journalists were awarded US$30,000 to develop a freelance news exchange based on micro-payments, while another entrepreneur was awarded $17,000 to develop a centralized hub for the exchange and sharing of radio news content. A final award of $3,000 was given to one individual, who would use the funding the develop whatasapp as a news channel. The decision to give few awards and concentrate funding was made deliberately in order to put more money behind the ideas with the greatest chance of success. IREX staff members continue working with the winners, and the group of three journalists was offered the use of an office on IREX premises, which it accepted. More detail on the progress of these initiatives will be provided in subsequent quarterly reports.

MSP April – June 2016 Quarterly Report

IREX would like to continue to focus on entrepreneurial efforts within the media sector in order to explore new business models that provide higher journalistic quality and more effective distribution of news content.

IREX awards $50,000 in seed funding for New Media Initiatives After an intensive “boot camp” for six finalists in June, young media entrepreneurs competed for a pot of $50,000 in seed funding for new media initiatives. In an open process in which 55 companies, groups or individuals applied, 17 were selected to submit a proposal, six were invited to a week-long training to develop their proposals further and, at the end of the training, three recipients were selected by an independent jury to receive funds totaling $50,000. “Our objective is to encourage more entrepreneurship in the media sector by funding and helping develop new media initiatives,” commented Sergio Chusane, a Director at IREX who is leading the initiative. The jury that selected the winning proposals consisted of two media entrepreneurs and two IREX staff. The jury members were impressed by the rapid development of the winning proposals over the course of the training phase and by the potential impact of these new media initiatives. The funding to the three winners will be paid out over a period of time according to the progress they make towards reaching agreed milestones, and the winners will receive continued guidance from IREX and external advisers to help develop their businesses. All three winning bids had in common that they addressed perceived gaps in information distribution and explored new models for news dissemination.

b) Continued product and operational improvements at Correio de Manha

MSP continued its overall collaboration with Correio de Manha (Correio) throughout the quarter, working with the news outlet across several priority areas, principally in the area of design and graphics, with the intention of improving the visual appearance and attractiveness of the news products. With MSP assistance, a new layout for the online journal was developed, which was one of the recommendations for action developed in the previous quarter. The new layout, or re-design, has helped re-vitalize the journal’s image, increasing attractiveness both to readers and advertisers, which in turn is producing signs that more readers, subscribers and advertisers are being attracted to the product. More detail will be forthcoming as these changes take effect.

Page 9 of 37

MSP April – June 2016 Quarterly Report

During the re-design process, the journal’s graphic designer was trained by MSP staff in the use of new graphic templates and techniques, and was accompanied by the same staff members in the implementation of the new layout. In the past, the experience has been that graphic designers may at first adapt a new layout only to slip back into the patterns, models and templates they already know and are more familiar with. In this collaboration, both Correio and MSP were determined to sustain the changes over time and not have the publication slide back into the old designs. At the same time, efforts were made to ensure that the design and visual appearance would be consistent across the organization. This work is ongoing. At the same time, MSP worked with Correio staff on its sister publication, a monthly glossy magazine called Prestigio. IREX specialists helped organize the company’s invoice and customer tracking systems, causing an immediate increase in income as unpaid bills by subscribers and other customers were followed up and paid.

On the recommendation of MSP staff, Correio hired a commercial assistant to better organize the business side of the company’s operations. This person was also made responsible for organizing the follow up of sales efforts, so as to achieve a higher level of organization in this area. The staff member is working closely with the editor and owner, but without causing any tension between editorial content and commercial advertising, and is being trained by IREX staff. The training provided has a strong practical focus, such as learning how to make a sales visit to existing and potential customers, close sales, prepare commercial packages that can meet the advertising needs of different clients, and analyze prizing and discount schemes that can help improve both the top line and the bottom line. When this process started, the commercial operation, as well as the newly hired commercial assistant, was very disorganized, but processes and systems have been established and are now falling into place. This work is ongoing. At the end of June, the company hired two graduates from the Media Lab internship program to help continue the development of the publications. The first task of these new hires was to develop and operationalize a new web site and to train other staff members on how to feed the site.

c) Diario de Mocambique continuously improves sustainability

Over a longer period of time, IREX has established strong working relationships based on trust and collaboration with several news outlets. Among these are Catembe, Debate, Jornal Espresso, Diario de Zambezia (DDZ), Zambeze and Canal de Mocambique. During the quarter, IREX consulted each of these outlets to varying degrees, following up on past interventions and responding to ad hoc support requests. As MSP itself matures, staff members are able to observe the longer term effects of effort and time that have been invested into business sustainability partnerships.

Technical support helps regional media outlets expand and consolidate “Projects such as IREX/MSP, which bring technology and training, strengthen our operations and viability,” says Antonio Zefanias, owner of the Diario de Zambezia (DDZ) newspaper in Quelimane. Over a period of several years, Zefanias has participated in a series of business management trainings, and his newspaper operation has received consulting input to strengthen all aspects of its marketing, management and operations. Today, DDZ is self- sustainable and manages to pay salaries on time, which is not a given within the country’s media sector. It has expanded from three to seven employees and receives a stable income from advertising revenue. With MSP assistance, DDZ developed an online engagement strategy centered around a website and supported by traffic-driving social media. This multi- platform approach has helped the newspaper become more accessible to readers and more attractive to advertisers. It can take a physical newspaper many days, even weeks, to reach a remote district, but this problem has been leapfrogged by digital distribution mechanisms, which are benefitting remote areas most. “The readers respond immediately to the information we provide,” says Zefanias, “especially if there are emergencies.” At the moment, the DDZ web site receives six hundred unique visitors daily.

MSP April – June 2016 Quarterly Report

“We want to make the regional outlets sustainable, so that they can remain independent and engage the public,” says Farida Usta, an IREX program coordinator working with the sustainability of media businesses. Other regional efforts include the work with Jornal Malacha (Tete) and Wampula Fax (Nampula), which have been trained in the use of various software packages and use of design templates.

d) Use of social media to enhance audience engagement

The development and implementation of social media strategies has become an area of growing interest and investment over the course of MSP thus far. Social media cuts across all MSP result areas and is essential to the healthy development and long-term sustainability of news outlets. More often than not, breaking news appear on Facebook rather than through traditional media, and media outlets have found that they need to have a strong social media presence in order to engage with their audiences. MSP has been contributing here both by helping develop online communication strategies and developing relevant skills.

Journalists learn to manage social media and enhance audience engagement “In this training, I learnt to communicate, not only to provide information,” commented Eufrásio José, a journalist at the Malacha provincial newspaper. José traveled from Tete to Maputo with the objective of developing the newspaper he owns and produces and enhancing its audience engagement. “Using Facebook and Twitter are effective journalism tools that allow us to bring up important questions,” commented José, stressing the power of social media to reach a wider audience, engender loyalty among readers and provide information quicker than through a physical newspaper alone. According to his observations, the number of people in Tete who are accessing news content via the internet is growing rapidly. José offered these and other observations during a one-week training at IREX in Maputo, which aimed at enabling journalists, principally from areas outside the capital, to master social media and a range of digital tools, including the preparation of infographics and the integration of video in social media posts.

MSP April – June 2016 Quarterly Report

“Most local media outlets are small and have limited news coverage of local issues,” said Laque Francisco, the IREX specialist who facilitated the training. “By expanding the channels, we are opening opportunities to communicate more at the local level and to do so more effectively.” A key objective of the training was to actively explore opportunities to strengthen the bonds between the journalist and the local reader, listener or viewer. The journalists concluded that, in general, the active engagement of citizens and local audience members in content development and reporting was rare in their areas, but felt that the training had helped them to work more closely with their audience.

RESULT 4 – COMMUNITY RADIO (CR)

The big picture: Over the quarter, the strategy of focusing on the same group of 32 CR stations in the Northern provinces continued. The close coordination and collaboration with CAICC also continued. The overall objective of this program component is to provide more and better information to people living outside the main population centers, through good CR operations and programming. All program activities are aimed at increasing the ability of CR stations to provide such information, while at the same time ensuring their long-term sustainability through improved operations and financial management. The CR program activities are managed and supported by a dedicated six-person IREX team based in the Nampula sub-office. This team is led by Program Manager Ryan Morris and supported by three Field Coordinators, who work with the partner stations on a regular basis and provide onsite training and other support. While the CR program component is somewhat independent in its day-to-day operations, there is ample cross-sector support and integration from other MSP program areas, in particular with the Advocacy and Gender program components.

Some summary points – Community Radio (CR):  Twenty two CR journalists from Zambezia and Nampula were participated in a trainer-of- trainers (TOT) training in Adobe Audition.  In collaboration with Dialogo (DAI), MSP implemented two trainings in production skills and good governance.  A cadre of assistant trainers and other CR staff and volunteers were participated in seminars on the development of commercial opportunities.  Mentorship visits to several target community radio stations took place, including Radio Ehale, Radio Parapato and Radio Sem Fronteiras. Page 12 of 37

MSP April – June 2016 Quarterly Report

Over the course of the quarter, a wide range of program activities was implemented:

a) Activity: Training of Trainers in Adobe Audition - IREX/UNICEF/ICS - (Training held in Quelimane and Nampula).

MSP and UNICEF trained 22 CR journalists from ICS community radio stations in Nampula and Zambezia in teaching methodologies (instructional design) and use of Adobe Audition software. The objective of the training was to build a cadre of community-based trainers capable of training children how to produce their own radio programs, as part of UNICEF's child to child media initiatives. As part of the training, UNICEF and MSP launched a training manual specifically tailored to children learners, around radio program production, as well as other materials to help trainers correctly evaluate and monitor the progress and impact of training activities conducted at the community level. This initiative will be a sustainable way for UNICEF and ICS to continue to conduct grass-roots level trainings around journalism and radio production skills for children, without the need for radios to spend large sums of money on external trainers. UNICEF, MSP, ICS and PCI Media Impact will be conducting follow on capacity building activities around training design and monitoring and evaluation in late August.

b) Activity: Training in Radio Production Skills and Good Governance (two trainings held in Nampula) - IREX/DIALOGO.

In collaboration with DFID/Dialogo, 22 journalists were trained in using radio as a platform for good governance monitoring. This was the second level of a course held in April 2015. Participants increased their knowledge around radio production skills and creation of interactive, magazine format programs. Participants also increased knowledge, the law of local organs, as well as the development of governance monitoring plans.

c) Activity: Training: “How to Make Money for Your Radio” (Gurue, Zambezia).

Nineteen MSP Assistant Trainers, CAICC Focal Points, and CR journaists were trained in techniques that can be used to help radios increase their funds and enhance their sustainability using radio, social media, and simple digital tools. Participants learned how to "map" their communities for potential local partners, and to sell "airtime" to advertisers through the production of radio spots for a local business in Gurue. Participants also learned how to create fliers and advertisements to be shared across social media platforms. RC Ile, Radio Sao Francisco de Assis, RC Gurue, RC Ile, and RC Monapo have all successfully incorporated the production of spots and/or social media fliers/advertisements as new marketing and fundraising initiatives. MSP will be working with these radios to help them track increases in revenue from these activities. MSP will continue to teach these fundraising techniques to other radio stations that did not participate in the training through mentorship visits.

d) Mentorship Visit: Radio Ehale (Nacala-a-Velha).

A mentorship visit was conducted at Radio Ehale to re-evaluate the radio's operational and radio production capacity. The radio has received a new coordinator. The new coordinator and eight of the radio's volunteers participated in on-the-job mentorship with MSP. MSP focused its work with the radio's administrative team, teaching important accounting concepts, human resources, as well as focusing on care and maintenance of materials. The radio also received targeting training in the use of Adobe Audition software, radio program production, as well as management and ethics of posting texts to social media. After the mentorship visit, Radio Ehale is now capable of broadcasting live programs recorded in the community directly through the radio using Movitel modems and other equipment donated by MSP.

MSP April – June 2016 Quarterly Report

e) Mentorship Visit: Radio Parapato (Angoche).

On-the-job mentorship training was conducted for 3 days at Radio Parapato with 10 radio volunteers. MSP was also joined by MSP Training Assistant Lucilia Xavier (RC Monapo), to provide support to Radio Parapato and to enhance her own facilitation skills. All seven vounteers that participated in the journalism mentorship are now able to upload, record, and edit audio in Adobe Audition software. They were also able to draft journalistic texts with a LEAD by the end of the visit.

f) Mentorship Visit: Radio Sem Fronteiras (Pemba).

Three days on the job mentorship was conducted at Radio Sem Fronteiras to assess operational and program production capacity. This radio received a new coordinator. MSP trained 40 volunteers in journalism and marketing. The radio received training in how to re- formulate their programming schedule, mapped the community for small, medium, and large businesses that could be potential advertisers, and strengthened core skills around news collection and program production from start to finish.

UNICEF, ICS and IREX work together to promote the inclusion of children in the use of new technologies UNICEF, ICS and IREX are working together on training children in the use of radio production and editing programs, such as Adobe Audition, and other production techniques. “We want to ensure that children producing radio programs [in the community radio stations] are able to edit their own material and be more independent in their work,” said Dulce Nhacuongue, Communications for Development Officer at UNICEF. The participants have gained many new skills in a short period of time. “I know Adobe Audition now and will continue to develop my editing skills when I return to the radio station,” said Clarice Luante of the Nacala Community Radio in Nampula. “I am ready for the challenge and will be able to train others as well.” Salvador Pedro from Mossuril Community Radio sees the technical training as an opportunity to involve children more in radio production. “With this training, the children can plan, prepare and overcome their production challenges themselves, said Pedro. The joint trainings took place in Nampula and Quelimane.

RESULT 5 – ADVOCACY & ALLIANCES

The big picture: Over the quarter, the strategy of focusing on the organizational development and strengthening of media associations, as well as developing mechanisms for collective advocacy action by the media associations, continued to progress, as shown in the increased capacity of several associations to better formulate their objectives and preparing concrete, actionable advocacy plans. Over time, a series of resource mobilization and project management workshops has reinforced this overall movement. The strengthening of the media associations is focused on two main lines of action: (a) strengthening their internal organizational and operational capacity and (b) coordinating efforts between different associations, so as to improve their ability to advocate for freedom of expression, press freedom and related media legislation.

Current context: After the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) was approved in December 2014 and the rules and regulations covering it in September 2015, IREX staff members and other stakeholders have continued their work on informing the public, in particular members of the media, about the provisions, rights and responsibilities associated with the law.

(a) Strengthening media associations.

During the quarter, MSP staff trained RECAC (the Child Friendly Reporter Network) staff on the use of the Media Content Analysis Tool (MCAT), which the association adopted for its monitoring and analysis purposes. RECAC has for many years produced an annual review of children’s issues in the media, similar to MSP’s gender issues in the media report, but have not previously carried out a comprehensive analysis of the quality of the coverage. Applying the MCAT instrument, RECAC will be able to report on quality as well as other more traditional statistics. Addressing this area also helps increase the overall M&E capacity in the media sector, which traditionally has been limited. Two staff members at RECAC were trained in the methodology.

(b) Improving legal framework.

In June, MSP concluded a survey on the implementation of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), which involved 106 individual subjects from 20 different public and private entities. The survey was designed to assess the responsiveness of information requests, as well as response time, completeness and relevance in those cases where a response was forthcoming. The results of the survey are still being analyzed and will be presented later. During the quarter, MSP trained 14 journalists in the practical application of the FOIA. The participants learnt how to go about requesting information, who to contact, how to write appeals, where to submit them, how to hold public and private entities responsible for information processes, and which follow actions and mechanisms to use. In April, MSP also organized a round table to discuss the ongoing revision of the press law, a law that has been in existence and largely unchanged for 25 years. The round table focused on media associations and included a lively discussion on the many aspects of the law that by many are considered ripe for an update, review or modification. Page 15 of 37

MSP April – June 2016 Quarterly Report

Talk shows

Four talk shows were carried out during the quarter. The talk shows, which are online TV talk shows filmed at IREX, have replaced the public media debates, after we did not succeed in attracting more than 20-30 people to the debates. Early indications are that we are reaching a larger audience through the online filmed presentations, as these can more readily be shared on web sites, through social media as well as via whatsapp. Efforts are underway to increase the reach of the talk shows even more, for example by involving a wider group of interviewees and expanding the range of topics being addressed. The themes for the talk shows were as follows:

25 April Transparency and the public debt. Fatima Mimbire, CIP. 17 May Press freedom. Jafar Buana, journalist, and Victor Fazendo, journalist. 23 May Media challenges in the digital era. Jeremias Langa, STV. 8 June How to access to public information. Celia Claudina, RECAC, and Fernao Paulo, AMCS.

Thematic subject areas

The work on the Trafficking in Persons – Legal Assistance Project (TIP-LAP) continued as a part time endeavor. While technically financed by the State Department, and only addressed part time by one MSP staff member, the project is highly aligned and synergistic with MSP objectives, as MSP has had Trafficking in Persons as a priority area from the outset. Furthermore, in May MSP organized a briefing between journalists and organizations working with trafficking to discuss challenges and opportunities in media’s coverage of the issue. Other activities included a presentation in Nampula on World Press Freedom Day, May 3, about MSP’s work and press freedom. The presentation, which was part of a larger event co-sponsored with CEC, another MSP partner, gathered a large number of journalists and other activists from Nampula.

Report shows Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) not yet fully operational On May 3, events were held worldwide to mark World Press Freedom Day (WPFD), including two events in Mozambique. Several organizations and donors worked together to hold a seminar in Nampula on the WPFD 2016 themes, which included (a) Freedom of Information and sustainable development, (b) protection of press freedom from censorship and (c) ensuring the safety of journalists. At the seminar, IREX Program Manager Ryan Morris spoke about the constraints that community radios often face in their localities and how these barriers may hinder independent reporting. Another participant in the seminar, investigative journalist at CIP, Lazaro Mabunda, emphasized the role of research in overcoming barriers to fundamental freedoms, such as the freedom of expression and of the press, which are necessary for the healthy functioning of any democracy. At the same time, a report prepared by AMCS and RECAC on the implementation of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), which was passed in December 2014, was presented in Maputo. For the purposes of the research analyzed in the report, some 49 public entities had been contacted to test to what extent they complied with the principles of right to information by responding to information requests. Two broad conclusions, which are elaborated on in greater detail in the report, are that most of the entities contacted do not provide information as required by the law and that many civil servants are not aware of the law or have limited knowledge of it. Various civil society organizations are working together to improve this situation and ensure that the law is being implemented effectively.

MSP April – June 2016 Quarterly Report

RESULT 6 – GENDER

The big picture: A key aspect of the MSP approach to gender/gender-based violence issues is to look for program synergies and integration by sharing or coordinating resources, beneficiaries and activities across program areas. One example of this is the inclusion of gender issues in the core journalism workshops and the selection of gender/GBV issues as topics for the application and practice component of the workshops. Similar close coordination takes place between the Gender and Advocacy program components. Another aspect of the MSP approach has to do with the extension of activities to parts of the country outside the capital, for example through the establishment of a network of gender focal points at MSP partner community radio stations. The general strategy has a double objective: (a) improving gender awareness, knowledge, techniques and approaches of journalists and (b) increasing the space and attention paid to gender/GBV in the media.

a) “Without taboos” TV program on TVM.

In April, the TV program "Without Taboos" was shown on TVM, organized and co-presented by MSP. The theme of the program, which was broadcast on April 25, was women in journalism and their presence in the media. Apart from MSP Media Specialist Dercia Materula, Carla Fernandes from the Golo advertising agency also took part. The two-hour program addressed the approach to GBV cases by the media; how media reinforce traditional stereotypes and myths that contribute to the stigmatization of victims of violence; and the need for greater accountability for both media and advertising companies that produce content that can be seen as discriminatory or unhelpful in overcoming violence. Furthermore, the need to create guidelines for media and advertising companies on what type of content may be broadcast and how it should be framed and how it may be presented to protect the rights of the victims of violence. In addition to participating in the program itself, MSP staff helped prepare the program and instruct the production team, identify content and develop key discussion points to be addressed. At the end of the program, the participants agreed that it is of great importance that media and advertising companies do not display discriminatory or other negative images of women, so as not to perpetuate harmful norms and attitudes.

The initiative to the program came from the TVM production team itself, following a similar program that had been broadcast on the 99 FM radio station in Maputo. The initiative demonstrates the interest among many journalists in reporting on GBV and to ensure that it is done in an ethical and responsible manner. The fact that more production teams, such as those of TVM and 99 FM are reaching out to MSP on gender and GBV issues indicates a growing conscientiousness of the issues and of MSP’s role in working on them. MSP will continue to work opportunistically with existing programs to take advantage of these processes. The sweet spot of collaboration is where MSP can pursue its programmatic objectives while meeting specific training or programming needs of the partner, and this collaboration represents an evolution in terms of moving from working mostly with gender- focused NGOs towards working directly with media programs. Additionally, more attention is now being paid to the individual needs of the media outlets, as mentioned above. Page 17 of 37

MSP April – June 2016 Quarterly Report

One key benefit or outcome of this type of collaboration is the mainstreaming of gender interventions within media outlets, i.e., the outlets themselves taking initiative to understanding and focusing on the issue as well as reporting on them as news items or feature stories in talk shows or current affairs programs.

b) Radio production course on premature marriages for the 99 FM radio station.

Over a three-day period at the end of May, MSP worked with six staff members at the 99 FM radio station to train them on issues related to premature marriages and how to report on them. The training took place within the broader context of the MSP GBV component. It may be noted that the radio station sent its entire reporting team to the training and that it did so on its own initiative. Both reporters and producers participated. This was the second time that the radio station sent its entire reporting staff to participate in a training by IREX. Furthermore, it may also be noted that the training was agreed and planned as a result of the radio station’s own initiative. The radio station is based in Maputo, but also covers Gaza, Inhambane, Beira, Chimoio, Nampula and Pemba, and focuses on young people in the 16- 20 age range. The radio station already has an established partnership with Nweti, an NGO working within the behavior change communication space, on the topic of premature marriages, and the training helped it better meet the needs of that partnership, which is an example of coordination of donor interventions and generation of synergies. The radio station management was actively involved in determining how the station staff could best educate itself on the issues and decided to work with IREX. For the first time, the station was able to produce relevant GBV content independently, as the reporters and producers were empowered. Following this training, MSP concluded that, as a rough guide and on average, the optimal split of a training of this type is 70 percent focus on building journalistic skills and 30 percent on providing knowledge and information on GBV or related issues. Furthermore, under MSP guidance, the station developed its own set of reporting and production guidelines for GBV content.

Radio station “99 FM” takes the initiative on responsible GBV reporting In a one-week training on responsible reporting on topics related to Gender-based Violence (GBV) and children, staff at Maputo radio station “99 FM” learnt to develop program content and materials on these issues. “Children usually do not know their rights, so there is a need to raise awareness of such issues, so as to protect them,” said Félix Penicela, host of the radio station’s “Morning Show” program. “With the information we now have, we can report with greater depth on the subject and treat it in a more comprehensive way,” said Artur Pedro Cossa, who is host of a program called “Vivíssimo e Tua Cena’’. The training, which was carried out by IREX Media Specialist Dercia Materula, had as its goal to equip the radio hosts with knowledge and tools for the responsible production of GBV content, for example by taking concrete steps to protect the rights and identities of victims of abuse or violence. In the course of the training, the radio station staff discussed the need to expand broadcast time to share information about GBV victim care and follow up services. They also stressed the importance of having in place standard procedures for reporting on GBV issues, which it was felt that all media organizations should have. The 99 FM radio station caters primarily to a young audience and reaches different parts of the country.

c) Training for journalists on girls’ rights.

In the beginning of June, IREX collaborated with the Movement for Education for All (MEPT), which is funded by Action Aid and lottery money. The course took place at IREX and involved six journalists from the City and Province of Maputo. As part of the training, the participants worked through a series of rights issues and their implementation. MSP handled all the logistics and identified the participants, defined the issues to be addressed and selected the facilitation methodology, whereas MEPT covered the costs for per diems and meals for participants. It was observed that the provision of a per diem seemed to have little influence on attracting more participants, as three times as many journalists had participated in a similar IREX training that had been held previously. We have taken this to imply that the quality of the training trumps the provision of financial support in terms of attracting and motivating participants. Of special interest was the discussion during the training of IREX’s network of gender focal points that has been established in the northern provinces. After consultations, MEPT decided to adopt a similar strategy in the central and southern provinces. IREX also concluded that MSP is playing a growing role in advising other NGOs and CBOs on media relations and the links to specific media content issues and that the development of the network of gender focal points is of great importance, as it allows for the seamless and effective distribution of gender and GBV related information to a greater audience, specifically in the periphery. IREX will seek to continue this type of collaboration and complementarity in order to maximize coordination, minimize overlap and increase the effective use of limited resources. Finally, the collaboration taking place through partnerships like the one with MEPT, allows MSP a greater role in shaping the gender advocacy agenda.

d) Production of the 2015 Gender in the Media report.

The production of the annual report on gender in the media in Mozambique for 2015 was completed in the quarter. The report followed the same format and analytical approach as previous years. It provides an overview of the current situation, analyses trends and offers recommendations for action for relevant stakeholders. MSP has designed the report so that it can be an important reference tool for decision makers. It is particularly useful for other CBOs and NGOs that wish to get a better understanding of the media landscape in order to help them prioritize issues, position themselves and communicate more effectively with the media. In direct response to the needs of such CBOs and NGOs, trafficking in persons has been included as a separate chapter. The report’s sections describe the approach of the media to specific issues, the handling of victims and perpetrators, context and the appropriate use of language. In the present report, the network of gender focal points created by MSP for its community radio partners is also addressed. The network is still being developed, and steps are being taken to add more members. Currently, there are 25 members of the network, and these will all go through a training or a review of the gender report in order to use it as appropriate in their local contexts.

MSP initiative empowers rural women to communicate on gender issues As part of an initiative aimed at developing a network of focal points for gender issues at community radio stations in the north of the country, the Mozambique Media Strengthening Program (MSP) has been carrying out trainer-of-trainers (TOT) seminars on themes related to Gender-based Violence (GBV). The training seminars draw on best journalistic practice and seek to encourage participants to invest more time in journalism and radio program production on GBV-related themes. “When a woman reports on gender issues, other women feel closer to the issue and can identify with it more easily,” says Nelson Máximo, a journalist based in Zambezia, who is one of the focal points trained by MSP to increase and systematize the involvement of women in reporting on gender issues. Quelimane FM is one example of the successful inclusion and involvement of more women in programming. As a result of focused efforts, the radio station doubled the number of female collaborators from six to twelve within a period of three months.

MSP April – June 2016 Quarterly Report

The women typically come with limited experience and also relatively limited education, but learn basic journalism, effective writing and radio production techniques to develop gender and GBV-related content.

RESULT 7 – TV SURDO (DEAF TV)

The big picture: In 2014, MSP started working with TV Surdo (Deaf TV) on a training program to develop the capacity for TV news reporting by, with and for the deaf. Fifteen TV Surdo members received introductory training in TV news production, including journalism skills, research, planning, filming, editing and presentation. As a culmination of this activity, the TV Surdo team carried out and filmed an interview with a Government Minister on the International Day for People With Disabilities (PWD). The program component has been designed to strengthen the capacity of TV Surdo, by training its members in TV news production for, with and by deaf people, thus strengthening the organization’s ability to respond to the needs for information, access, inclusion and participation of the deaf population, which in turn will allow deaf persons to play a more active role in social, economic and political affairs. The activities currently focus on Maputo, where both IREX and TV Surdo are based, but efforts will be made to identify deaf persons from the provinces to participate in trainings, either by bringing them to Maputo for training, shifting some activities to the provinces or pursuing long distance learning options. One additional outcome of this program component is that TV Surdo will bring information about the deaf community, and possibly about other PWD, to the rest of the population. In this way, materials produced by TV Surdo may meet two dual objectives of informing the deaf community and society at large, thus increasing the overall impact of the project.

Some summary points – TV Surdo:  In April, TV Surdo started and successfully maintained a production schedule of three online TV news reports per week.  Efforts continued to expand the audience trough targeted promotional activities.

a) Production of online TV news programs.

As of April, TV Surdo increased its production of online TV news reports to three reports per week. In order to accelerate the production schedule, a range of steps was taken to improve operational and production efficiency, thus improving productivity. This is a step on the path to producing a one-hour monthly news program for the deaf on STV in the next quarter.

MSP April – June 2016 Quarterly Report

b) Marketing and promotion of content to expand audience.

In order to increase the audience of TV Surdo, the team undertook several promotional activities, including filmed debates at a special school for the deaf and hard of hearing. Team members participated in two separate radio programs used as springboards to communicate with a larger audience, which in turn could help inform deaf friends and family members about TV Surdo’s programming.

2. Examples of program impact

Media Lab graduates come together to form new company Three Media Lab graduates came together after the conclusion of the program to form their own company focused on digital innovation in the media sector. The company will receive seed funding from IREX and is expected to focus on new online distribution and payment models that can be used by individual journalists to provide content.

A majority of Media Lab graduates obtain employment in the media sector Shortly after graduating from the program in June, almost 20 of the participants had found employment in the media sector, including ten that were hired by SOICO, the leading independent media company (eight of these decided to accept the job offer). The success comes despite a difficult job market.

The Prestigio magazine increases sponsorship receipts With MSP support, Prestigio was able to prepare and implement a diversified funding strategy including long-term partnerships with advertisers and sponsors. Notably, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism signed an agreement to pay MZN 2 million (US$ 25,000 at current rates) in return for promotion of tourism related content.

At Correio de Manha sales are up after a renewed focus on the commercial side Through the active support of IREX staff, as well as the hiring of a commercial assistant at the news outlet, sales and income at Correio grew quickly, despite a difficult market situation with limited advertising money in circulation. At the same time, the number of subscribers is up, as well as the collection of outstanding accounts payable.

Media association improves content analysis through training and mentoring After receiving training by IREX staff in the use of the MCAT content analysis instrument, the RECAC media association was able to start providing more in-depth analysis of content covering issues related to children, which is its area of focus. The additional analysis is being published in its annual report on children in the media and serves as a reference point.

Reporter at Nacedje community radio produces important gender content A reporter at the station produced a series of 30-minute programs on women and HIV, which focused on topics of direct relevance and help to the listeners, such as where to obtain medical treatment and anti-retroviral drugs, how to avoid opportunistic infections and why some people abandon treatment. The program also used call-ins from the listeners.

TV Surdo brings attention to deaf issues Through a gradual, but steady focus on expanding its viewership, TV Surdo has increased the average number of views of its content on You Tube, while also reaching out to people in the deaf community. This process is a preliminary step in growing an audience for an upcoming prime time monthly news and current affairs program on STV.

3. Project Performance Indicators

Project performance indicators can be found in Annex I. During the quarter, the M&E team and processes continued to consolidate gains made and make further progress. The positive trend of increased substantial interaction between M&E and program staff continued, with program staff making using M&E data to guide program planning and assessment. This ongoing dialogue is increasingly analytical in nature and is a core aspect of the team’s quarterly review meetings.

4. Major Implementation Issues

There were no major implementation issues in the quarter.

5. Collaboration with Other Donor Projects

MSP’s key strategic partnership with DAI through the Dialogo project, a DFID-funded project focused on civil society and strengthening of municipalities, continued this quarter, for example through Result 2, where IREX staff supported Dialogo-partners to assess and improve their businesses and through Result 4, where IREX provided Adobe Audition and social media support to community radios working with Dialogo in Quelimane and Nampula in the North of the country. At the same time, IREX continued aligning its community radio activities more closely with UNICEF. This collaboration involves UNICEF sponsoring community radio staff to participate in IREX trainings, and the two organizations coordinating and optimizing their training plans and schedules. This process is expected to continue at full force in the third quarter. Finally, IREX also continued to work with the Center for Public Integrity (CIP) on issues related to fighting corruption and increasing transparency.

6. Key Activities Planned for Next Quarter

8. Administrative Update

MSP is currently in a steady implementation phase in the project life cycle, with few and limited administrative challenges. Operating processes, procedures and policies are in place and are being followed. A stable team with limited turnover also contributes to operating stability, allowing the team to focus its efforts on the challenges of program implementation. IREX is carefully managing the financial situation in relation to operations and activities, with a view to ensure that project expenditure comes in on target at the end of the project in June 2017. Efforts are also being made to diversify funding in order to maintain continuity and keep the current high-performing team in place until the program end date.

9. Success stories and photos

Story 1: Mocuba community radio creates services to increase revenue and create benefits for the community “We don’t have to travel far to make photocopies anymore,” says Patricio Sozinho, a community radio listener in Mocuba. “I am really happy with this new service.” After participating in a series of courses on marketing, management and journalism provided by IREX, Rosalina Caetano, the coordinator of Mocuba community radio, started looking for opportunities to generate and diversify revenue for the radio station. After carrying out a market study to understand the needs in the local community, the station started saving money from on-air dedications to purchase a photocopier to be used for copying and printing of documents by community members. “We are close to many schools and public offices, so people often need to make copies, and we provide that service for a fee,” says Caetano, who is increasingly thinking about ways to ensure the financial viability and sustainability of the station in the long-term. The community radio in Mocuba provides programming on agriculture, education and health and keeps people informed in the event of natural disasters or emergencies.

Story 2: Field studies by journalists reveal consequences of severe drought and lack of adequate response in Namaacha As part of a three-day intensive field training program for journalists, seven reporters visited Namaacha district in Maputo province to interact with local communities affected by drought and learn about the impact of the drought at the community level. In addition, the journalists sought to gain an understanding of government measures taken in response to the drought. An estimated 6,000 people in the district are affected by the current drought and in need of food aid. As a result of the drought, the most recent agricultural harvest season has produced very low yields, and much livestock has either died or is at risk of dying from lack of water. “We have observed that there are severe water shortages and low agricultural productivity,” commented one of the participating reporters. Most of the community members interviewed lamented what they saw as lack of an adequate response to the situation by the authorities, with some expecting to receive more assistance. “Such field visits are important, because they inform journalists about social and economic inequities that exist,” said Rui Lamarques, IREX Media Specialist, who led the field training. Other participants commented on the importance of traveling outside the cities in order to gain a better understanding of the day-to-day realties of the rural majority of the population.

ANNEX 1: M&E Quarterly Report (April – June 2016)

This part of the quarterly report summarizes the progress made in FY 2016 Quarter 3 (April through June 2016) on MSP program objectives. Over the course of the quarter, significant effort continued to be invested into improving and quality assuring the M&E processes. Part of this has been to work through all the underlying data processes and systems that support the top level reporting on program indicators. The MSP M&E team, which consists of one M&E coordinator and two M&E assistants, has been able to dedicate an increasing amount of time to data analysis, and we expect this trend to continue as the underlying data processes improve.

The updated (as of June 30, 2016, the end of Quarter 3) MSP indicator tracking sheet (ITS) is included on the following pages. The ITS is the monitoring tool used by MSP to assess progress on a monthly, quarterly and annual basis. While not all indicators are updated monthly, some being updated quarterly, twice-yearly or yearly, the ITS is shared with staff monthly for program management and analysis purposes. The data is also discussed in the quarterly review meetings (QRM) that take place after the conclusion of each quarter and in the quarterly donor reports. While keeping its basic structure, the ITS has evolved over previous quarters to better present the indicators and reflect adjusted targets. Furthermore, to facilitate the use of the ITS, a set of annotations to the ITS has been prepared (these were shared as an annex to a previous quarterly report).

The ITS for the quarter is followed by some brief comments and a selection of supporting graphs and tables. For a precise definition and explanation of each indicator, please refer to the referenced document with annotations. It should be noted that the comments below are not intended to explain all aspects of each indicator, but to highlight certain select and relevant points. The information contained in this section builds on data and information provided in previous quarterly reports.

Commentary:

Indicator 1. Number of targeted journalists. This indicator refers to seasoned journalists mentored by IREX staff. As of the end of Quarter 3 of FY 2016, some 59 journalists had been mentored to date (PTD = program to date). Of these, 30 were mentored during FY 2015 and four in FY 2016. IREX is tracking all journalists mentored, but is only tracking quality improvements in those that have sufficient pre- and post-intervention written product to be adequately measured by the MCAT methodology. As of June 30, 2016, some 39 of the 59 reached the minimum requirements for being assessed, and of these, 28 individuals or 72 per cent showed improvement after being mentored (see indicator 1.2 and 1.3).

MSP April – June 2016 Quarterly Report

The full list of mentored journalists is included below. While this is not a bad result per se, it is below the 75 per cent target set by the program, and continued effort will therefore go into increasing this quality score – by (a) providing continued feedback to the journalists and (b) increasing the number of journalists who have enough product to be measured. Furthermore, efforts will be made to mentor more women journalists to reach a target of 20 women out of 80 in total mentored.

Resuming the mentorship of senior journalists is a key focus of Quarter 4. The program expects to reach all numerical targets and is putting efforts into achieving the quality targets.

Indicator 2. Number of Person Days of Training (PTD). The new LOP target is 13,000, as this target was adjusted upwards in consultation with USAID. By the end of FY 2015, which corresponds to approximately 2/3 of program time elapsed, IREX had already exceeded the target PTD over the life of the program. This is primarily due to a very high activity level in Year 2 and 3 of the program, with a strong focus on broad-based training courses for a relatively broad audience. In the final two years of the program, activities are more targeted and focused on fewer beneficiaries, so the PTD number is expected to be lower for Year 4 and 5. In terms of training activities overall (indicator 2), the gender balance is better than for mentored journalists (indicator 1), with 5,831 out of 13,035 PTD for female participants.

The improved gender balance is driven primarily by the high female participation rate in the Media Lab program, where 2/3 of the participants are female.

Indicator 3. Number of journalists trained. By the end of Q3 FY 2016, this target has been achieved, with 1,117 trained versus a target of 1,100. Of these, some 313 were women. Again, with the shift towards a more in-depth approach, with greater focus, more intensity and fewer beneficiaries, the number of additional journalists trained will only grow moderately in Year 4 and 5.

Indicator 4. Number of trained interns. We currently track until the first employment after each internship. In addition to the remaining 26 interns from the Media Lab (ML) (2016 cohort), down from the original group if 33, we had an additional 12 sponsored interns in the first quarter. By the end of Quarter 3 FY 2016, some 61 ML interns, funded interns or fellows out of 140 trained by IREX had obtained relevant employment within the media sector. This number will, however, increase as more interns complete their programs and trainings, and IREX considers that achieving a success rate in placement of interns of 50 per cent remains realistic (versus a current success rate of 44 per cent).

Indicator 5 and 6. Number of outlets. With an increased focus on quality, we are investing more time in those outlets that demonstrate a willingness to achieve rational business goals. As to the number of outlets that meet professional standards, it should be noted that a new measurement tool has been implemented: the Media Partner Assessment Tool (MPAT) with baselines having been recorded for current media partners. At the present time, all current partners score relatively low, but this simply represents a baseline rather than a result from program interventions, and scores are expected to increase significantly as IREX/MSP interventions take hold in coming quarters. Overall, IREX/MSP expects all targets under Result 2: Business (indicators 5.1-6.2) to be achieved.

Indicator 7 and 8. Education. This program component was discontinued.

Indicator 9 and 10. Community radio. IREX/MSP is currently working with its full target set of 32 partner stations, each of which has been baselined according to a performance measurement framework. A follow-up assessment took place in Quarter 2 of FY 2016 to monitor progress in the work with these partner stations.

Indicator 11. Advocacy. Number of media sector CSOs assisted – in terms of both the overall and the targeted number of such CSOs, IREX/MSP has exceeded the numerical targets. The difference in depth between the two categories is, however, significant. The overall number (indicator 11.1) includes all CSOs that have participated in any training, for example if one member of the CSO participated in a specific training on elections and election reporting, whereas the targeted number (indicator 11.2) involves more direct, more customized and deeper interventions and follow-up by IREX. The latter indicator therefore is more representative of the higher impact work being carried out.

Indicator 12 and 13. Gender. During Q3 FY 2016, six media professionals were trained in a gender activity, up from zero in the previous quarter (see previous report). The program is on track to reach the target for these indicators. Number of media professionals completing a gender/gbv activity – by the end of Quarter 3 FY 2016, some 82 journalists had been trained in such activities versus a target of 120. In terms of the overall number of person days of training (PTD) on gender, the target was already achieved. This is because the number of journalists trained is a threshold indicator where participants are counted once if and when they have passed a threshold of 10 hours of training, whereas the PTD indicator measures the overall volume of trainings. This relationship reflects that in most cases, journalists trained participated in trainings usually lasting up to one week.

Indicator 14 and 15. PWD. Number of people with disability (PWD) trained - IREX/MSP started daily trainings of a core group of deaf persons in July 2015, thus reaching 1,449 PDT for PWD. IREX/MSP has started counting the PDT for PWD for trainings specifically targeting the TV Surdo (Deaf TV) training.
