Organizational Framework
The community-based media and life skills organizations have joined together to create a formal network that provides them with a platform for exchange and represents their interests at national, regional and international levels in culture, policy creation and economic development. A group of committed individuals representing the member organizations manages the network and ensures its sustainable growth.
