Organizational Vision - The SAMO we are building

SAMO will be a funding-diversified, sustainable and independent multi-media platform. Its governance and leadership will function according to international standards of good practice. National and international partners will consider SAMO as a model of institutional and organizational excellence.

Young people will be better informed, less manipulated by those who seek to exploit them and increasingly perceive themselves as having the right to express their aspirations.
Women's rights are promoted to empower and engage them in all spheres of life.
Farmers will have increased access to information about how to be more successful and profitable.
Business people will understand their social responsibilities.
