The audit of Gender In Media Education in Southern Africa (GIME) is the most comprehensive study yet undertaken of the gender dimensions of journalism and media education and training in tertiary institutions in Southern Africa. The audit of the University of Namibia (UNAM) and Polytechnic of Namibia (PON) is part of a larger GIME audit that was administered in 25 institutions in 13 countries including Botswana, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe between October 2009 and April 2010. Gender Links (GL) undertook the study through its Gender and Media Diversity Centre (GMDC) and through a partnership between media development organisations and knowledge institutions.
