In a bid to increase awareness of the challenges facing the world's poorest countries, the United Nations has partnered with MediaGlobal in implementing the GLOBAL MEDIA COMPACT. The Global Media Compact aims to assist newspaper editors, broadcasters, and owners of media companies in advancing human development by featuring stories that raise international awareness of issues of poverty, disease, and hunger in the most vulnerable countries in Africa. 
MEDIAGLOBAL is the global news agency creating media awareness for Least Developed Countries and one of the leading providers of information on global development issues facing vulnerable countries in Africa and Asia. MediaGlobal's newswire stories are read by leaders of developed countries, the global media, policymakers in donor countries, non-governmental organizations and key personnel in the United Nations Secretariat, its agencies and managers in the field worldwide.
