About BBC Media Action

BBC Media Action is the BBC’s international development charity. We use the power of media and communication to help reduce poverty and support people in understanding their rights. Our aim is to inform, connect and empower people around the world.

We work in partnership with broadcasters, governments, non-governmental organisations and donors to share reliable, timely and useful information. We reach over 200 million people in Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Europe through our debate shows, dramas, radio and TV programmes, public service announcements, mobile phone services and face-to-face communication.

We also provide mentoring and training for journalists and development professionals. An extensive research and evaluation process underpins all that we do; it strengthens our work, helps us to evaluate impact and reach and increasingly contributes to the exchange of ideas in the policy sphere. Our overarching goal is to help people make sense of events, engage in dialogue and take action to improve their lives.

What We Do in North Africa

BBC Media Action’s North Africa office is based in Tunis and runs projects covering Algeria, Tunisia and Libya, as well as other areas of the Middle East. Where possible our projects share experiences as we aim to help people in the region access relevant and accurate information about life where they live, and help them have a voice that influences the decision-making process.

Partnerships in Algeria

In Algeria we work with four organisations to improve information services as well as the quality of journalism, supporting the development of public service media and strengthening capacity as they transfer to digital platforms.

Etablissement Public de Télévision (EPTV)

The state television is focussing on change within its production, use of social media, developing planning, monitoring and evaluation tools, and development of web based television.

Algérie Presse Service (APS)

The state press agency is developing capacity for web TV and studio production for creating a variety of outputs, including more social media use and targeting young people. We are also looking at change management.

Radio Algérie

Working with five regional state radio stations to develop an on-line profile for news and information, and improving use of social media and cutting-edge technology. We are also seeking to bolster synergy between the national and regional radio outlets and making change happen.

School of Journalism at the University of Algiers (SoJ)

Helping them develop more practical outlets for training journalism students, with a focus on social media and digital web journalism. Our aim is to build stronger links with the industry as it develops its new platforms.
