ABOUT CHARM AFRICA
Seven consortium partners from across the African continent collaborate to strengthen the effectiveness and resilience of journalists, media professionals, social media producers, human rights defenders, civil society activists and their organizations, in order to advance more democratic and free societies.
The CHARM Africa program focuses its work on countries in sub-Saharan Africa where civil liberties are hampered. However, there are still spaces for expression, organization and action, including pockets of resistance that can be supported to strengthen human rights and democratic freedoms.
CHARM AFRICA is funded by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida).
The Consortium for Human Rights and Media in Sub-Saharan Africa (CHARM AFRICA) aims to promote and protect human rights and media freedoms in sub-Saharan Africa.
The partnership between CIVICUS, Civil Rights Defenders, DefendDefenders, Fojo Media Institute, The Wits Centre for Journalism, Réseau des Femmes Leaders pour le Développement, and Magamba Network recognizes the role that a free and active media and civil society play in protecting strong, inclusive democracies and promoting sustainable national development.
