The Journalism Awards project “Shuki” is implemented through a partnership between the Estonian Centre for International Development (ESTDEV) and JAMnews.
Who we are
With so much misinformation cavalierly and cynically tossed around, it is vitally important that the societies in the Caucasus benefit from journalism that is fact-checked and unbiased, balanced and sensitive. JAMnews has been giving them just that. A full-fledged newsroom presence in almost every part of the region – committed teams of editors and reporters, SMM managers and translators, experts and citizen contributors – has allowed it to always stay on top of national breaking news stories, while also keeping an eye on the not so obvious, but none the less important, issues and trends that are overlooked by others.
About our Partner
The Estonian Centre for International Development (ESTDEV) is a government-funded foundation responsible for managing and implementing Estonia’s international development cooperation and humanitarian assistance projects. We achieve this aim through partnerships and investments that reduce poverty, strengthen democratic governance, build sustainable economies, and help people emerge from humanitarian crises and progress beyond assistance.
The role of ESTDEV is to empower and inspire Estonia’s partner countries to set goals and find creative solutions for carrying out their development plans. By sharing its own successful reform experience, the ambition of Estonia’s development cooperation is to support partner countries in becoming self-reliant and capable of leading their own development journeys in ways that benefit and include all groups of society.
To become the centre of excellence for Estonian development cooperation and humanitarian aid, ESTDEV involves top experts from Estonian civil society organizations, the public sector, and private sector. In doing so, we ensure that the projects we implement are sustainable and meet the expectations and needs of the partner country.
