Africa’s leading News, Opportunities and Resource Platform for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, MSME Africa has been admitted into the Nigeria Media Innovation Program (NAMIP).

NAMIP is a 3-year initiative working to increase capacity, generate sustainable and diverse revenue streams, and build audiences of independent media in Nigeria, particularly those reaching underserved communities. Launched by Media Development Investment Fund (MDIF) in 2022 and funded by MacArthur Foundation, it seeks to support the editorial independence of media organisations by strengthening their financial sustainability.

According to a statement released by NAMIP, 10 more media organizations have been admitted to the innovative business capacity-building coaching initiative. They were selected from over 150 applications after careful consideration by an Advisory Committee comprising leading professionals in journalism, business, academia and innovative enterprise. They will be joining the 14 media organizations that were selected in 2022. The new participants are mission-driven independent media from across the country with goals to uncover new and sustainable revenue pathways by engaging wider audiences and creating new media products.

Joining the cohort, new participants will benefit from both a bespoke and broad range of resources, mentorship and capacity-building opportunities and technical support, all geared towards fostering an environment conducive to experimentation, growth, and the creation of sustainable revenue solutions that will embolden editorial independence in Nigeria’s media industry.

“NAMIP is an effort to support innovative growth and experimentation targeted at organizational sustainability,” said Bilal Randeree, MDIF’s Regional Director for Africa & MENA. “It has the fortune of building on past developmental efforts by MDIF to strengthen media across the continent and the world. This is why the program explores a mix of interventions aimed at the success of our beneficiaries”.

“Being aware of the importance of good journalism and the media’s role of information circulation, as well as facilitating diverse public discourse, it is  crucial for these media organizations to be institutionally strong with diverse revenue options,” said Adedeji Adekunle, NAMIP’s Program Director. This will ensure that media independence and pluralism can continue to grow in Nigeria.
