Summary of findings & recommendations

This site sets out the perspectives on challenges and opportunities for media freedom and building trust in the media across the continent of a group of media leaders, regulators and media standards champions from 10 countries across sub-Saharan Africa. These groups came together in London for a course on media freedom and trust facilitated by the University of Westminster, and supported by the Chevening Foundation, May to June 2022.

The conclusions and recommendations set out here are those of the course Fellows, and do not necessarily reflect the perspectives of either the University of Westminster or the Chevening Foundation.
