BBC Media Action

BBC Media Action uses media and communications to reduce poverty and promote human rights in developing countries and fractured states. To achieve this, it partners with civil society, local media and governments to:

• Produce creative programmes in multi-media formats which inform and engage audiences around key development issues;
• Strengthen the media sector through building professional capacity and infrastructure.

BBC Media Action promotes development and human rights through three main thematic areas of health, governance and rights, and humanitarian and emergency preparedness.

BBC Media Action in Libya

Since the end of 2011, just months after the fall of the Gaddafi regime, BBC Media Action has been working in Libya to develop programming that will improve Libyans’ access to information, and encourage debate and participation in the country’s transition. The current extensive fighting across the country has meant that BBC Media Action has relocated its operations to Tunis for an interim period.
