SECTOR 1

The sum of all individual indicator scores is divided by the number of panel
members to determine the average score for each indicator. These average
indicator scores are added up to form average sector scores.
Outcome
The final, qualitative report summarises the general content of the discussion
and provides the average score for each indicator. Panellists are not quoted by
name in the report, in order to protect them from possible repercussions. The
reports can be used as a tool for possible political discussion on media reform.
In countries where English is not the official language, the report is published in
a bilingual edition.
In facilitating the AMB, the FES and MISA only serve as a convener of the panel
and as guarantor of the methodology. The content of the discussion and the
report is owned by the panel of local experts and does not represent or reflect
the view of FES or MISA.
By the end of 2019 the AMB had been successfully completed 121 times in
32 african countries, in some of them for the sixth time already.
