From the American People
USAID has supported the growth of independent media in Afghanistan since 2002, helping to establish a robust and energetic media sector. In November 2010, USAID awarded a new phase of support under the Afghanistan Media Development and Empowerment Project (AMDEP). USAID builds the capacity of local, independent media through technical support, equipment upgrades, hands-on training, business development, and strengthening of media industry institutions, networks and associations to increase media professionalism and standards of practice. USAID also supports citizen and civil-society access to multimedia training, production and distribution facilities, and facilitating the use of new technologies to build platforms for citizen media access.
