On March 14 2018 I was proud to take part in Unesco´s regional launch in Africa of World Trends in Freedom of Expression and Media development Report 2017/2018 at Makerere University.

I was representing the Norwegian UNESCO-commission and the co-host of the event Department of Journalism and Media Studies: International Center at OsloMet.

Lydia Gachungi at the UNESCO Regional Office for Eastern Africa presented the World Trends in Freedom of Expression and Media Development Global Report in Uganda 14 March.

Around 70 guests from media, civil society, embassies and the university were present at the launch hosted by the Department of Journalism and Communication at Makerere University in Kampala.

Meddie Mulumba from the Uganda Human Rights Commission launched the report officially, after discussions, speeches and welcome remarks by the Dean Aaron Mushengyezi. You can read the full report here.
