In return, civil society organizations have better access to first-hand information that has been researched and documented by local media workers. As a result, DW Akademie promotes a regional strategy with partners in Ecuador and Peru. In Ecuador, CORAPE, a community media network, offers public dialogues which bring together decision-makers with those affected and which are recorded for public radio. In Peru, Servindi, an intercultural news agency, puts indigenous topics on the national news agenda via its network of indigenous journalists and community media practitioners. DW Akademie has been active in Colombia for more than two decades, and in 2020 opened a regional office in the Colombian capital, Bogota.
