[CMA-L]

Background

UNDP-ACT in Cyprus aims at creating opportunities for both the Greek
Cypriot (GC) and Turkish Cypriot (TC) communities to work together on
concrete projects for the benefit of all people on the island, while
at the same time promoting tolerance and mutual understanding. Over
the next three years, the programme will work with Cypriot partners
and the international community to achieve the following outcome:
strengthen the capacities of Cypriots to actively participate in a
process of reconciliation, through 3 key focus areas:

1. Civil society strengthened to effectively support and contribute to
the peace process.

2. Opportunities for Cypriots to promote social and policy change on
issues of common concern enhanced.

3. Mechanisms to promote cooperation, common understanding and
reconciliation fostered and demonstrated.

The Cyprus Community Media (CCMC) is  a new initiative being
implemented by UNDP- ACT and a consortium of Civil Society
Organisations to contribute to  a more pluralistic, vibrant and
diverse media landscape through an integrated and networked community
media initiative led by Civil Society.

CCMC aims to build the capacity of Cypriot CSOs and civil society
actors across a number of media areas, especially through joint
actions across Cypriot communities to ensure wider and better
dissemination of issues and concerns of CSOs among the wider
population. Furthermore the Community Media Centre aims to enhance
relationships between the mass media and civil society through the
provision of community media generated products contributing to social
inclusion, multiculturalism and diversity.
