Risultati fasi precedenti:  

The following results should be considered with the understanding that IFPIM's primary objective in the first phase was to establish a new international organization:

IFPIM has made significant strides in advancing its mission across the world since its start in 2022. It has mobilized approximately USD 52 million to support public in-terest media in low- and middle-income countries. It expanded the global coalition supporting its work, and increased its total investment in news publishers in its focus countries to over USD 8 million across 31 organizations. After the approval of IFPIM’s Statutes and the appointment of its Board, IFPIM transformed into a new multilateral entity with HQ in Paris as a quasi-interna-tional organization.
