Both in developing countries as well as in countries in the North, governments,<br />
non governmental organisations, media organisations <strong>and</strong> individual programme<br />
makers are involved in projects <strong>and</strong> programmes focusing on strengthening the<br />
role of media in development. Cooperation, often on an international level, is<br />
essential in this.<br />
What are the dreams <strong>and</strong> needs of media <strong>and</strong> development organisations both in<br />
the North <strong>and</strong> in the South? What are the lessons learned? How can we draw upon<br />
those lessons <strong>and</strong> benefit from it to design appropriate <strong>and</strong> innovative initiatives in<br />
the field? What can international cooperation contribute to realise this?<br />
In the two day participatory conference organised by RNTC these questions<br />
were raised <strong>and</strong> discussed. Current themes were identified <strong>and</strong> were translated<br />
into future scenario’s. At the end of the two days, six action plans were made to<br />
strengthen the role of media <strong>and</strong> development <strong>and</strong> to stimulate international<br />
cooperation.<br />
