Title: Organisation d’une table ronde et d’une émission télévisée sur l’ONAMA
Date: 11/10/2022
Format: In presential
Place: N'Djamena, Tchad
L'événement se déroulera le 10 novembre 2022 à N’Djamena sous le thème « l’intelligence artificielle et l’accès à l’information pendant la période de transition ». La table ronde et le débat télévisé seront l'occasion de discuter sur l'accès à l'information et l'intelligence artificielle, couvrant à la fois les avantages et les risques, dans le contexte des principes de bonne gouvernance.
Si la fracture numérique est alimentée par des inégalités sociales et économiques, elle peut aussi s'exacerber en créant des obstacles à la mise en place de bonnes gouvernances publiques, dont le droit d'accès à l'information. Cependant, la fracture numérique peut aussi être réduite par la mise en place d'initiatives d'e-gouvernance incorporant le développement d'applications et de contenu en ligne qui permettent et encouragent l'autonomie, la participation et la collaboration. Suite à la 13ème édition de la Conférence internationale des Commissaires à l'information sur l'accès à l'information, la participation et l'inclusion à l'ère numérique, il est important de débattre sur le rôle de l'intelligence artificielle, et d'explorer comment en faire des alliés clés pour favoriser la promotion d'approches inclusives pour l'accès à l'information.
Activités programmées :
- Organisation d’une table ronde
- Organisation d’une émission télévisée sur l’ONAMA

Format: Hybrid
Place: Bangkok,Thailand
In Asia, as elsewhere, crimes against female journalists include physical attacks, harassment, abuses, and other gender-based violence. However, often complaints into these crimes against female journalists are not properly investigated and prosecuted. This has given rise to impunity, spiking even more attacks on female journalists. The result is a climate of fear among female media professionals even as they struggle to independently report on the news. To mark International Day to End Impunity for Crimes Against Journalists, Asia Centre, in partnership with the Friedrich Naumann Foundation Southeast and East Asia, will convene a panel of female journalists to discuss violence against journalists, outline measures that can be taken to ensure their safety and steps to prosecute the perpetrators.
