Thank you The Dawn Newspaper, for publishing this article.🥰😀

The Canadian Association of Midwives (CAM) launched a three-day workshop in Torit on Wednesday, aimed at dismantling cultural taboos and combating misinformation that prevents communities from accessing accurate sexual and reproductive health information.

In 2023, we held the first Annual Media Sustainability Leadership Network Forum, which focused on the themes of Independence, Sustainability, and Technology in the media landscape of South Sudan.

Facilitators and panelists from both South Sudan and the region shared valuable insights into sustainability practices from their respective countries, citing examples such as the Daily Maverick in South Africa, The Citizen in Kenya, and The New Vision in Uganda. This event was a crucial part of the broader sustainability plan, emphasizing resilience and its significance for South Sudanese media.

During the forum, it became clear that the media sector has been heavily reliant on donor funding without establishing long-term strategies.

So, what steps can be taken now? Media organizations can diversify their business models by exploring options such as advertising, subscriptions, and community support. They should also consider forming partnerships with civil society and the private sector, as well as investing in digital tools and training for journalists.

Ayaa Irene, the Director of the Association for Media Development in South Sudan (AMDISS), highlighted the challenges that media institutions face regarding sustainability.

Group Activity:

of our Content Design training Workshop on Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights in Torit, participants were able to develop content that promotes Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights while challenging cultural taboos and misinformation.

Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights are human rights. Yet, cultural taboos and misinformation block communities from accessing life-saving information. This activity aims to ensure that communities in Torit can access life-saving health information.

Myths silence, but Facts save lives.

Every person, woman, and man deserves the freedom to make informed choices about their health and future. By breaking the silence, we break the stigma.

Media Sustainability Matters in South Sudan

The sustainability of media is one huge issue that led to many media
houses closing down due to an unreliable strategy to keep going.

Sustainable media is not just about survival; it’s also about ensuring voices remain heard, truths remain told, and democracy remains alive in South Sudan.

Well, we all know that some media houses in South Sudan have shut their doors, not because of a lack of talent or passion, but because of unreliable strategies to survive.

Stephen Omiri, CEO of Eye Media, shares his insight into why media houses shut down.

Today, our MDI Alumni, Anhiem Alier Awuok, commonly known as Bro Winner, paid a courtesy visit to AMDISS and met with our Director.

His visit was a moment of connection, reflection, and encouragement, reminding us of the strong bonds within the MDI family and the shared commitment to advancing media development in South Sudan.

We celebrate our alumni who continue to inspire and contribute to the growth of the media sector.

Not every freedom struggle begins flawlessly; it begins with courage and the persistence to keep fighting. Every battle rarely starts perfectly; they start with brave hearts and steady steps.
