"In May 2005, a programme was initiated to support reconstruction and development of media in Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam province destroyed by the tsunami on December 26, 2005. This programme, which was given the name Aceh Media Construction Assistance (AMRA), received funding of € 1,097,927 from Free Voice, Oxfam, ICCO, and NED. Under the coordination of Free Voice, the AMRA programme is run by Aliansi Jurnalis Independen (AJI), Kantor Berita Radio 68H (KBR 68H), and Komisi Penyiaran Indonesia Daerah (KPID) – hereinafter referred to as the AMRA partners. From July through August 2006, Free Voice, in its capacity as programme coordinator, decided to carry out an external evaluation of the AMRA programme through an independent evaluator. The purpose of this evaluation was to compare the results achieved by the partners with the objectives established in the project proposal and other preparatory documents. The evaluation also aims to identify the extent to which the collaboration between the partners had created synergy to build the media in Aceh and to make recommendations for future programme implementation – including specific recommendations on implementation of Aceh’s first ever direct elections of regional heads, which are scheduled to take place on December 10, 2006."
