Additional Context: This information comes from the Internews report, "Crisis in Journalism: The Impact of the U.S. Government Funding Cuts on Global Media" published in June 2025. The research was led by Internews Europe in close collaboration with three consortia of media development organizations brought together under the European Commission’s Thematic Framework Partnership Agreement for Human Rights and Democracy. The researchers gathered information through direct interviews and surveys with frontline media partners. Organizations such as Adisi Cameroun are important in conflict-prone contexts to promote peace and address harmful narratives that instigate violence.
Devex Researcher Note: According to their website, Adisi Cameroun has been able to continue some of its work with funding from France, Germany, Canada, and Meta among others. Though Internews does not name the project, this work aligns with the now terminated Cameroon Peace Promotion project.
