Policy discussion forum on electronic and print media utilization for national political parties

Within the prism of the June 2021 national and regional elections, all contending political parties and candidates were allocated airtime on national and regional electronic and print media outlets.

This airtime could be used to sensitize their immediate constituencies and the broader electorate on their policies and programs. FES in partnership with the Ethiopian Media Authority (EMA) supported the organization of a workshop that brought together political parties running at national and regional level to collectively deliberate on the challenges encountered so far in the implementation of EMA’s allocation of airtime and space. EMA, NEBE and political parties collectively deliberated on execution of the media access to political parties, mainly with the objective to improve the conduct of the 2021 elections and to ensure both fairness of and knowledge about the regulations.
