As a Geneva-based non-profit organization, the IMGG/Media21 Global Journalism Network focuses on journalist workshops exploring key global issues such as climate change, human rights lifeline media, piracy and humanitarian and conflict zones (Afghanistan, Horn of Africa…) It is also developing governance-related initiatives seeking to promote greater public awareness and accountability in these areas. The IMGG works with various international partners, including media, UN/NGO humanitarian and development agencies.
