Similarly, in Mozambique, the AMB has led to discussions and action to set up a voluntary media regulation structure. In Zimbabwe, the AMB research helped to publicise and raise awareness about the repressive nature of the media environment. To enhance this project, MISA and the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung (FES) are further developing the indicators. It was noted that the AMB tool was lacking in its assessment of gender and information and communication technologies (ICTs) in respect of the free expression environments in Africa. In 2009, MISA will, therefore, roll out a reviewed, and improved, list of AMB indicators. The AMB is constantly evolving and MISA and FES are mindful of the need to market and brand the project. Thus, during 2009 the AMB booklet design will be revamped, while renewed attempts will be made to popularise the project on national, regional and international platforms. MISA will continue to use this project to highlight issues of concern that relate to media freedom and freedom of expression in the region. African Commission on Human and People’s Rights and networking MISA attended the African Commission on Human and People’s rights (ACHPR) session in Nigeria in November 2008, where it issued a statement about the ongoing repression of media workers in the sub-region. The organisation continues to work closely with the ACHPR in Banjul, Gambia. As a result of this collaboration, ACHPR commissioners visited Zimbabwe at the invitation of MISA and other civil society organisations. The ACHPR subsequently produced reports calling for reforms to Zimbabwe’s media laws and the country’s inclusive government has taken up the issue. At present, MISA Zimbabwe has two cases before the commission. MISA is increasingly working through and with networks in its advocacy work. In Swaziland, MISA is leading a coalition to fight for the observance of citizens’ rights during the election period. MISA Swaziland is also leading a High Court challenge on the composition of the country’s electoral body. In Zimbabwe, MISA is part of the Media Alliance of Zimbabwe (MAZ), which has become the political voice of media groups in the country. In Tanzania, MISA works with partners in a media and anti-corruption drive being implemented under the Millennium Challenge Account Building Organisational Networks for Good Governance and Advocacy (MCA-BONGA). In Zambia, MISA is part of coalition that is pushing for media law reform and the implementation of laws, including the Freedom of Information Act and the Independent Broadcasting Authority Act. In Botswana, MISA has fought the Media Practitioners Bill as part of a coalition, and in South Africa the organisation is part of the SOS, or Save our SABC campaign, an effort by civic groups to seek the transformation of the SABC into a true public service broadcaster.
