UN Supports Free And Independent Media In Guinea Bissau

“Tema”, a TV talk show in Guinea Bissau, has been successfully on the air for the past two years with support from UNOGBIS and financial assistance from Germany. Together with the privately funded radio station in the country, both media has encouraged the population to participate in the country’s democratic process and keep them informed of important issues that greatly affect their lives. How freely the media manage to operate now will be a test of Guinea Bissau’s efforts at democracy.
