Participatory Action Approach (PAR) has been used to harmonize the relationship between Puntland administration and the media services. For this purpose, Puntland Development Research Centre (PDRC) organized a three-day training workshop for the media operators and the authorities in Puntland. The following are the three main objectives of the workshop:
- To eliminate the prevailing conflict between the media and Puntland Administration;
- To improve media performance as well as its independence and
- To define and agree on a set of media ethics and a code of conduct.
