Humanitarian Information Project
|
By working with local media and established networks of local journalists, this project provides information on IDP rights, entitlements, aid and assistance programs, and on the security situation in IDPs' home towns. By doing this through a dialogue that includes IDP concerns and perspectives, it counters rumours and misinformation, and engages with issues in a detailed manner that is easy to relate to and accept. This approach affirms IDPs' own ability to make positive decisions affecting their lives, lessen their vulnerabilities and give them some of the tools they need to safeguard their rights and entitlements. The project is being implemented by one of the well known international media firm called Internews. Please also visit www.hip.org.pk |
