Development Through Media is one of the first non-profit media-based Civil Society Organisation (CSO), and the first to focus on audio-visual media in Kenya. DTM specifically focuses on using the media for the promotion of development-oriented information within the overall development sector. It works in collaborations with both its non-media (thematic-based) and media-based CSO counterparts.

Thus DTM specifically works towards policy reforms, capacity building, awareness raising and attitude change through the Media in general and audio-visual media in particular.

DTM works mainly in Kenya and also undertakes assignments within the East Africa region and at the international level.

Mission

DTM’s mission is to promote deliberate, strategic and sustained use of media in the overall development agenda. We do this by developing mutually beneficial collaborative partnerships, for building capacities of practitioners to produce development-oriented and research-themed content that address societal issues, especially those affecting rural communities and urban marginalized

Vision

DTM envisions informed and engaged citizens who claim their social-economic, political and other rights, in an inclusive and just society.
