Welcome to the Khartoum Advocacy Centre

This blog is part of the project “Promoting Freedom of Expression and Civil Society Involvement in Developing Democratic Media Legislation in Sudan”, which is managed by ARTICLE 19 and organised in cooperation with a consortium of Sudanese and international organisations. In addition to ARTICLE 19, the consortium consists of Association for Media Development in South Sudan (AMDISS); International Media Support (IMS); Khartoum Centre for Human Rights and Environmental Development (KCHRED); Norwegian Peoples’ Aid (NPA) and Olof Palme International Centre (OPIC). The project is funded by the European Commission and the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

This site will serve as an e-wing of the Khartoum Advocacy Centre established specifically for the project. The advocacy centre is envisaged to the be the site of ongoing campaigns and efforts seeking to implement and adopt new legislation for freedom of expression and information and of meeting and discussions on such issues as freedom of expression, censorship and media law reform in Sudan. It is our hope this blog will allow more stakeholders, wherever they are, to partake in the discussion.
