About RNW Media

RNW Media is an international digital media organisation, working for social change. We believe in a world in which young people in all their diversity confidently claim their rights and assume their place in society. Our mission is to accelerate the impact of young people-centred changemakers by co-creating digital media solutions built on data insights and mutual learning. We reach this mission by co-creating digital and learning solutions to accelerate change; in behaviour, attitudes, social norms and policies.

About the programme "Masarouna"

One of our flagship programmes bringing social change through digital media is Masarouna. Masarouna is a sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) programme, in strategic partnership with and funded by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs (2021 – 2025). Masarouna mobilises the power of young people’s collective action to support their fight for greater freedom of choice and respect for their SRHR through new and innovative pathways for change. Our target group is young people aged 18-35, with particular attention to marginalised groups. In this programme, RNW Media works together with four other consortium partners and eleven direct country partners in six countries. RNW Media focuses on co-creation and implementation of digital media solutions in SRHR through working with country partners.
