As an MVA partner, EJC will support the MVA Forward program mission to improve the sustainability and resilience of independent media globally and will also support the vetting of organizations joining the MVA platform, as per the MVA Trust Framework, in order to keep the platform a safe space for independent media. This vetting process is complemented by the MVA’s rigorous digital safety processes, supported by technology partner Microsoft.
