Thank you for supporting Afghan journalists during this urgent time. In addition to helping their communities navigate Afghanistan’s challenging political, health, educational, food security and economic systems, journalists and media outlets are constantly at risk of facing political repercussions for fulfilling their mandate to freely provide information.
While the landscape for the media in Afghanistan is extremely challenging, there are still opportunities to maintain critical public information flows to citizens across the country. We continue to provide immediate, mid- and long-term support to partners directly providing critical information. For instance, we recently supported the dissemination of informative reports about COVID-19 nationwide through radio broadcasts and online platforms. We have also supported international advocacy efforts to protect journalists and media freedom, especially in urgent situations like in Afghanistan.
Our Afghan journalist and media partners’ safety and long-term sustainability continue to be at the heart of our efforts – and we couldn’t have done it without your commitment and support.

For twenty years, the Afghan media community has inspired us with their resilience and resolve to provide life-saving information to those in most need—no matter the challenge or cost. Our heartfelt thanks for your collective support and solidarity, as we continue to champion the sector now and into the future.
