OUR WORK
Buni Media’s vision is an informed, active, open, just and accountable African society.
We have undertaken a variety of projects and activities towards this vision, with a focus on four thematic areas:
FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION & OPEN SOCIETY:
Buni Media envisions a society in which everyone can express themselves freely without suffering adverse repercussions for dissenting or alternative opinions, and everyone can readily access all information and documents related to the management of public affairs.
Our work:
Informs citizens about these rights.
Calls on Government to protect and uphold these rights.
Deliberately includes provocative content intended to expand the space for discussions around contentious social and political matters.
PARTICIPATORY GOVERNANCE:
Buni Media encourages the active involvement of citizens in civic processes.
Our work:
Informs citizens about why it’s important to participate in Governance and civic processes.
Outlines ways in which they can participate in Governance.

ACCOUNTABLE SOCIETY:
Buni Media envisions a society in which everyone plays their role to achieve positive progress, and faces warranted consequences in case of failure or wrongdoing e.g. prosecution by law or dismissal from duty.
Our work:
