Mission & vision

ERIM was founded in 2004, in Lyon, France. Over the past fifteen years we’ve worked in 37 countries, mainly in the Eastern Partnership, Eurasia, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).
ERIM is a non-profit, non-governmental organisation with funding support from multiple donors, including the European Union, United Nations, and individual governments.

Goals

To promote human rights and fundamental freedoms and empower citizens so they are better able to access accurate and objective information and critically engage with the media and information they consume.
In order to achieve these global objectives, ERIM works to support and strengthen civil society and independent media organisations so they are more sustainable, resilient and better able to advocate for the respect of democratic principles, fundamental freedoms and human rights. We support them in developing their role and position at local, national and international levels in the definition of public policies.
