The UN Development Programme (UNDP) is exploring new ways to incubate and support media to increase their resilience and expand civic spaces as part of the Media Alternatives Project.

As part of this project a business challenge was organized, with the aim of promoting business models so that independent media outlets are able to generate new sources of income and achieve a level of sustainability that will allow them to continue producing original content that makes an impact on society.

Through our partners, Splice Media, the UK Embassy in Cambodia and SHE Investments we conducted a three-stage selection process where 5 media organizations were selected to receive seed funding, plus 5 months of intensive mentoring and training by SHE Investments, OHCHR and UNESCO and Splice Media
