Fee-paying and collaboration programmes
In the period under review, SAIMED also undertook fee-paying (non-donor funded) activities by either individual
institutions meeting their own costs and by collaborating with other institutions. Notable was the collaboration on
community media capacity building and sustainability with the Institute for the Advancement of Journalism (IAJ)
in Johannesburg, South Africa. The estimated income realised was US$27,272.00. This meagre result was attributed
to a lack of willingness by most beneficiaries to meet their own capacity building costs. The following illustrates
