Overview
Through a four-year partnership with USAID, IREX’s Media Empowerment for a Democratic Sri Lanka (MEND) program improves citizen’s access to balanced, reliable, and objective news and information in Sri Lanka.
The program also supports Sri Lanka’s efforts to solidify recent advances in media freedom and democratic governance.
To accomplish this, IREX works with the Sri Lanka Development Journalist Forum, and several other local organizations, such as the Sri Lanka Press Institute (SLPI).
