[FoME] "Better media, a better Africa"

[Richard Gerster]

At our updated homepage
(http://www.gersterconsulting.ch/sites/res_budgetsupport.html) a multitude
of new reports and interviews on budget support in practice can be found.
Accountability is often at centre stage, and in one of the reports the role
of the media in Tanzania is particularly highlighted ("a better media, a
better Africa"). The State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO),
Switzerland, asked Gerster Consulting to take a closer and practical look at
budget support from various points of view. On that background a series of
field reports and interviews were written to cover experiences made in
Benin, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Mali, Mozambique, Nicaragua and Tanzania. They
aim at illuminating chances and risks, opportunities and limitations of
budget support in a practical manner with a focus on Switzerland’s
experiences. All the essays can be downloaded in three languages English,
français, deutsch.
