<DIV>Soeben ist eine Übersicht über die wichtigsten Förderstrukturen der Medien-Entwicklungszusammenarbeit (MEZ) außerhalb der USA erschienen. Die Darstellung ist nach Ländern - von "Arab States" bis "United Kingdom" gegliedert, ergänzt durch die Medienförderung der Europäischen Kommission, UNESCO und UNDP. In Anbetracht der recht verworrenen Datenlage ist dieser Bericht trotz gelegentlicher Ungenauigkeiten und Fehler ein hilfreicher Überblick vor allem über den Umfang der Medienförderung (und weniger zur Qualität und/oder Effizienz der MEZ ):</DIV>

<DIV>Zitat (aus "Overview", p.11-12):</DIV>
<DIV>In terms of actual aid disbursements, the European Commission is likely to be the biggest single funder of media development projects outside the United States. An approximate and conservative guess is that the EC funded perhaps 200 media-related projects in 2008, at an average cost per project of about $411,000 (€300,000), bringing the total to a notional current commitment by the EC of about $82 million (€60 million) worth of media-related projects (N.B. many of these are multi-year programs). For comparison, we have more concrete figures from Sweden and Norway—$30 million and $19 million on media support, respectively, in 2008—and a relatively good estimate from the Netherlands and Switzerland of about $37 million and $29 million per year, respectively. We also have a clear figure from UNESCO of $33 million on media support activities—although this is for 2010-11. The United Kingdom and Germany are probably large media donors too, but it is impossible to extract definite figures without doing a meticulous and time-consuming audit of their budget lines. Such is the partial picture for Western Europe. China’s international media development efforts remain an enigma as it is impossible to get such information from the Chinese government. The nature of Japan’s investments in media infrastructure, while apparently substantial, is also an open question and would require more research.</DIV>
