Overall 'supporting media, supporting development' is the neatest description of our activities. In early 2001 we provided media consultancy and workshops for Al Jazeera Satellite TV, training their presenters, correspondents, studio directors and video editors. At the other end of our work-spectrum we operate the biggest development web-site in Jordan, in co-operation first with DFID, now with the United Nations. We have taken a leading role in publicising the Millennium Development Goals and we created the ground-breaking "Volunteer Match" section of the web-site. In between we have organised workshops for the Dutch Development Minister on investigative journalism in Jordan, Yemen and Egypt. We also advised the World Bank on their Global Knowledge initiative and we oversaw media relations at the Bank's Mediterranean Development Forum in Cairo in 2000.
The Jemstone Network covers well over 1,500 media professionals and sixty of the main media organisations in the MENA/Gulf region. They came together initially in the mid 1990s as part of the European Union's Med Media programme and have grown into the biggest media training and development network in the region, based in Amman, Jordan, with projects from the Dutch, British, Danish and Finnish governments as well as the World Bank and UNDP. Jemstone events have been held in all the Arab countries of the Eastern Mediterranean, plus Malta, Morocco, Yemen and Qatar, as well as Holland, Belgium, France and the United Kingdom
