It grew from an attempt to build up a database of media practitioners in the South that is now a thriving network between some of the most exciting media organisations in South Asia. The small media company in Risor (Norway), we were working with has long since closed, and the African partners have each gone their own way, but the Drikpartnership has grown and now includes Aina, a media resource centre in Afghanistan, the multimedia company B.I.T.S. in Pakistan, Drik India a smaller version of the parent company, The Nepal College of Journalism and Mass Communication, the award winning television distribution company, Television for Education Asia Pacific (TVEAP) in Sri Lanka and Drik itself. The partnership, which involves an exchange of professionals between partner organisations, is supported by Fredskorpset, a Norwegian public body aimed at promoting Norway’s cooperation with majority world countries.
