Increasing Accountability Through Independent Media

A strong independent media is essential for a thriving democracy, uncovering systemic issues and driving accountability. In Indonesia, where democratic values face growing threats, USAID MEDIA is working to empower journalists and civil society organizations to enhance transparency and tackle corruption. Through training, digital security support, and advocacy, USAID is helping to strengthen the resilience of independent media against misinformation and disinformation. This initiative ensures that diverse voices are represented and crucial public interest issues are brought to light.
