Zambia Independent Media Association

The Zambia Independent Media Association (ZIMA) is a non-governmental organisation dedicated to promoting media freedom and diversity in Zambia. It is the Zambian chapter of the Media Institute of Southern Africa (see entry MISA), based in Windhoek, Namibia. ZIMA collects information and monitors developments and problems facing the media in the region. As part of MISA, it establishes links with similar organisations within and outside the country including the labour movement, human rights and related groups for the purposes of cooperation and solidarity. To broaden the knowledge of media workers, ZIMA encourages debates on media related issues and organises meetings and seminars. ZIMA undertakes these projects in order to assist to the development of independent and community media.
