Sudan
and South Sudan face the complex challenge of establishing
stable and
democratic structures and laying the foundation for new civil
societies. Amidst
the euphoria of a new start, political repression and economic
necessities, the
media play a central role as a citizens’ forum, as watchdogs,
and as mediators.
From this point of view, access to information, the aggregation
and
distribution of knowledge, and the practice of free expression
and debate are
major elements in the complex establishment of democratic
structures in
post-conflict regions. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

MAKERS: JUBA aims to develop scenarios for a sustainable media
sector in
South Sudan and Sudan, with a particular emphasis on openness,
accessibility
and transparency. The three-day event will consist of small
working groups,
framed by international keynotes. We will bring together
start-up entrepreneurs
with experienced business people, seasoned policy makers with
enthusiastic
activists, representatives of traditional mass media with the
protagonists of
the social media revolution, and lofty theorists with
practitioners on the ground.
We expect these meetings to yield intense debates, new ideas and
collaborative
efforts to build a sustainable, transparent and accountable
media sector in
Sudan / South Sudan.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
