Trust in Media – in Africa and Europe

KAS Media Africa Conference at Lake Como, Italy

Trust is a currency for serious journalism - repeatedly explaining to the readers, viewers or listeners how news is made and verified.

Failing to plan means planning to fail

10th KAS E-lection Bridge held in Gaborone, Botswana

These and other challenges of party work in Africa were discussed at the high-level 10th Election Bridge with politicians from 15 different countries on the African continent, Anglophone, Francophone and Lusophone.
