EXECUTIVE SUMMARY i-STREAM is a USAID-funded project to strengthen the independent media sector in South Sudan. The goal of the five-year, $75 million program is to: strengthen a free and independent media in South Sudan, with an emphasis on the independent radio sector by supporting the transition to self-sustainability of five currently funded USAID-supported local partner radio stations and focusing on improving the professional preparation of journalists, the economic self-sustainability of media houses, the enabling environment for a free media, and the support institutions for a freer media. To accomplish this, i-STREAM seeks to strengthen professional media capacities, industry association building, and solidarity across South Sudan’s developing media sector. The i-STREAM program views media development as a holistic process that encompasses a number of key interlinking factors that together enable a healthy media system: the production and distribution of quality content, the financial sustainability of media outlets, a fair and predictable legal environment that encourages their development, and the existence of strong support institutions that can advocate on their behalf. High quality, localized information is a key component to democracy, governance and progress. i- STREAM’s approach is holistic – collaborating with media houses to produce and distribute high quality content, providing advice and support to those media houses as they strive to become their own self- sustaining institutions and advocating for the entire media sector ensuring that journalists and media houses are protected and able to operate freely and credibly. It is this integrated approach that is working towards a more healthy media environment in South Sudan, which is undoubtedly a crucial part of the country’s democratic progress. FY2017 began under difficult conditions but was marked with many achievements. The first quarter saw Eye Media encounter and successfully navigate its greatest challenge to date – a week-long shutdown by the government. Our Humanitarian Information Service published a groundbreaking Beneficiary Feedback Report after conducting more than 79 focus group discussions in four UN Protection of Civilian sites across South Sudan. And 19 graduates received the first-ever granted Advanced Certificates in Journalism by the Media Development Institute (MDI). Internews continued to vigorously support its programs with a strong group of national staff in country, working from all field sites as well as in Juba at a shared office with partner MSI. Following the July 2016 incident, expat staff and some South Sudanese staff had been working remotely from both Kampala and Nairobi, with targeted short-term trips in and out of Juba for programmatic continuity. Supporting efforts to re-deploy the HQ team to Juba, extensive security and risk assessments of potential accommodations and office spaces were conducted. Once a locale was selected, the task of upgrading the security began to satisfy critical re-entry requirements agreed on by the organization. Throughout the second quarter, i-STREAM continued to record achievements despite the continuing conflict in the country and the severe economic deterioration. Eye Media and The Radio Community (TRC) senior leadership teams successfully completed an 18-month executive coaching program, ready to take their organizations to the next level. The Humanitarian Information Service launched a new community radio station called Jamjang FM in Ajoung Thok refugee camp providing critical, life-saving information for 100,000 Sudanese refugees. Internews also published the first of five learning modules toward the Humanitarian Information Service Learning Collection. The Boda Boda Talk Talk learning module documents the case study in South Sudan and provides a how-to guide for replication in different contexts. Internews supported stations and projects also encountered challenges in the area of press freedom restrictions, most notably with the postponement of the launch of a new radio station, Kondial FM, in Bentiu PoC due to arbitrary government restrictions.

Our senior leadership team returned to work full time in Juba, as well as several international staff posted to both field sites and within Juba. Internews limited international staff presence to a maximum of 12, and a few non-essential international staff positions continue to support the project from their homes of record. Additionally, all national staff returned to country in Q2, and our remote operations in Kampala closed. In the third quarter, the final stages of Eye Media’s organizational restructuring process occurred. After months of planning and careful consideration of various scenarios factoring in Eye Radio’s vision, the organizational restructuring exercise was undertaken to ensure Eye Media’s long-term sustainability. A major accomplishment for TRC was the launch of the network’s newest station Akol Yam FM in Aweil. The smooth process followed the successful navigation of some local political hurdles that were placed its path since the decision to move support for the former station in Malualkon to a new station
