Our Mission:

Information is an agent of change. Since its inception, back in 1976, PNI has believed in the role of information as a precondition for lifting communities out of poverty and marginalization. This belief is reflected in our historic mission:
Giving a voice to the voiceless - acting as a communication channel that privileges the voices and the concerns of the poorest and creates a climate of understanding, accountability and participation around development, promoting new international information order between the South and the North, East and West.

To fulfill this very important mission, PNI has developed a three-pronged strategy that is reflected in its three main areas of work:

Providing News and Contents: producing stories and analyzes, which explain how events and global processes affect individuals and communities, especially the marginalized and voiceless.

Capacity-Building: empowering journalists, media organizations and civil society to be better able to communicate effectively by leveraging PNI unique character as a Southern-focused news agency, offering a different kind of training and follow-up.

Dissemination and Networking: building an information bridge linking civil society, international institutions, policy-makers, donors and individual readers, to promote an ongoing dialogue about communication and development for a better world.
