Conference Description
The 5th International Symposium of the German "Forum Medien und
Entwicklung" (FoME, Forum Media and Development) is expanding its
discussions on Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) in media development
cooperation launched in its October 2007 Conference, Measuring Change.
The four thematic blocks will continue earlier discussions on assessing
media landscapes, experiences in evaluating the quality and impact of
training, and how the media's contribution to social and political
change is assessed. Different donor and media assistance organisations
will present their approaches to M&E and share their experiences with
existing frameworks.
During the conference, the mediaME-Wiki will be officially launched.
mediaME is a participatory platform for sharing tools and approaches for
media development monitoring and evaluation. The initiative rose from
the strong desire of participants at the 2007 Measuring Change
conference to collect and share knowledge and experience in media
development M&E. Collaborators in this initiative include media
assistance organisations, researchers, and other media and development
practitioners.
The Symposium will again take place in Bad Honnef (near Bonn), Germany,
on Monday, 12 October, 2:30pm - Wednesday, 14 October, 2:30pm. On behalf
of FoME, CAMECO is overseeing conference organisation. The provisional
programme and a registration form can be downloaded under
