Søknader mailes IAWRT.norge@gmail.com og prosjektsøknader blir besvart innen 1. desember.
1.
Background
FOKUS, Forum for Women and Development is an umbrella-organisation
consisting of 66 women‘s organisations based in Norway. FOKUS is a knowledge
and resource centre with an emphasis on the spreading of information and women-centred
development cooperation.
FOKUS’ primary goal is to contribute to the
improvement of women’s social, economic, and political situation
internationally. FOKUS builds partnerships with sister organisations
internationally to realize women’s rights and improve their situation.
The International Association of Women in Radio and Television (IAWRT) is
a global organisation formed by professional women working in electronic and
allied media. Their mission is to strengthen initiatives towards ensuring that women
are an integral part of programming and enhance the impact of women in media. The
network consists of 12 chapters and nearly 500 members in 57 countries. Most of
IAWRT’s members are practicing journalism, but some are also media researchers
and teachers of journalism.
IAWRT has consultative status with ECOSOC, they are part of The Global
Alliance on Media and Gender, GAMAG, and they participate actively in national
and regional media and broadcasting forums such as the Asia Institute of
Broadcast Development (AIBD), the European Broadcasters’ Union (EBU) and
Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK).
They also cooperate with the Ethical
Journalism Network and the Norwegian Journalist Union.
IAWRT has been a member of FOKUS since 1997, and has received financial
support from NORAD, through FOKUS, since then. In 2015 FOKUS and IAWRT entered
in to a new program-agreement for the period 2015-2018 with a yearly allocation
of approx. 1, 7 mill NOK.
2.
Justification
IAWRTs strategy is to empower
women to engage with and through the media through targeted training, exchange
of knowledge and strategies for gender mainstreaming. The network is almost wholly financed by Norad through FOKUS.
The goal of the FOKUS-programme is “Women’s empowerment and gender equality in and
through the media”.
IAWRT has conducted two evaluations (2003 and 2007). The latter was a
follow up to the former, with an additional purpose to assess how members
perceive the value of IAWRT. It concludes that between 2003 and 07 the member-base,
local activities and chapters increased, while the communication and networking
improved, increasing the visibility of the organisation.
Both evaluations underline that IAWRT is facing challenges in creating
its own unique identity in the face of a changing media environment and
increasingly demanding members.
Some main conclusions from the previous evaluations
are:
• Identity/standing: IAWRT needs to clarify the issue of identity by engaging its members
in a debate about the purpose of the organisation both on a national (chapter)
and international level.
•
There is an unrealized
potential to be recognized as an important actor in the worldwide debate on
gender and media.
• Organizational / structure – accountability: IAWRT needs to rethink its organizational structure,
or to improve the existing.
•
It needs to institute
measures to rationalize and develop a system for more transparent processes on
the following activities: fundraising and funding, elections and tenure on the
board, decision-making and responsibility and information sharing.
•
Increased membership
from Southern countries, and the wide-ranging changes in the media environment
have affected the organization in different ways, and IAWRT needs to include
strategies to meet these changes in a more effective manner.
The 2007-evaluation advised IAWRT to discuss the recommendations from
the two evaluations, as well as the future of the organisation during a
Strategic Planning Workshop. This was organized during the 2008-biennial.
The organization and the programme has not been evaluated since 2007. As
almost ten years has passed, there is a wish to conduct a new external
evaluation to identify the current situation and challenges of the network, as
well as provide recommendations and identify learning examples for the further
strengthening of the organization.
3.
