In one of the world's most dangerous regions for journalists the IFJ is working with local unions and media employers to develop a culture of safety for journalists, journalists unions and media in the region.

The project will build a core network of skilled and resourced safety trainers ready to be deployed to carry out training and advise when any security situation deteriorates

Key Activities:

• Safety training provided in 6 countries
• Local safety coordinators developed in Palestine, Iraq and Yemen.
• Regional conference for establishing in-house safety trainers and protocols.

Countries covered: Middle East and the Arab World

The programme is supported by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Norwegian Union of Journalists
