Sustainability and Evaluation
The following financial evaluation provides an indication of the operational sustainability of SAIMED for the period
under review (SAIMED obtained this analysis from a Free Voice 2006 evaluation). Almost all of SAIMED resources are
still in the form of project funding. SAIMED has taken measures to implement its cost recovery philosophy through
soliciting media entrepreneurs’ scholarship support, the collection of participation fees, consultancy fees and renting
out its conference facilities.
