Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung@ 40 in Ghana For instance, FES has supported the National Media Commission(NMC) to formulate guidelines for political reportage of elections. The NMC collaborated with the FES to train journalist across the country on the said guidelines. In the year 2004, FES supported the NMC by donating monitoring equipment to set up a Media Monitoring Centre to monitor media reportage of political issues leading to the General Elections that year. Another support FES made on the media landscape worth mentioning is the capacity building/induction workshops for new members of the NMC. Although a lot has been achieved in media freedoms a lot remains to be done in the wake of new challenges facing the expanding media of Ghana particularly in the field of broadcast journalism and media education. The future of good governance will to a large extent continue to depend on how the press lives up to its responsibilities. The FES with its rich track record of 40 years as a partner for media development in Ghana should hopefully continue to work with the GJA and other institutions to deepen press freedom in Ghana Ambassador Kabral Blay-Amihere is Ghana's former High Commissioner to Sierra Leone(2001-2005) and Ambassador to Cote d'Ivoire(2006-2009).
