BACKGROUND
The principal role of the International Fund for Public Interest Media is to enable media to work for democracy. It will support the media through this current time of existential threat and develop lasting solutions to the current media market failure in low- and middle- income countries. The Fund complements existing efforts. It catalyses new money as a globally coordinated but fully independent vehicle that can activate quickly to provide critical funding and support to hundreds – if not thousands – of public interest media organisations worldwide.
The Fund has been designed to minimise interference in the internal affairs of the countries it supports. Its governance arrangements and international nature ensure funds are allocated efficiently and in ways that command maximum legitimacy in the eyes of media institutions and other democratic stakeholders in beneficiary countries.
We have developed the concept, completed a detailed Feasibility Study, have a founding team, and operational funding in place. The Fund has a current focus on i) raising funds at scale and ii) further developing the design of the fund mechanism to strengthen public interest media around the world.
