Nai Supporting Open Media in Afghanistan works locally to empower independent media and promote freedom of expression. Nai is an Afghan non-governmental organization established in 2005 with the support of Internews Network. The original mission of Nai remains to build and promote a strong independent media sector in Afghanistan through their work in the areas of training, advocacy, and production.

Nai is a full member of Internews International, a network of 40 Internews organisations across the world. Nai is currently run by USAID funds through Internews Network and receives small grants for projects from other donors.

Nai offers practical training to journalists and those seeking to get a start in the media industry in Afghanistan. They have recently gained registration of the Nai Media Institute with the Government of Afghanistan and will soon expand their range of training courses. 

Nai fulfills its advocacy mission through a range of activities. Nai lobbies the government to reform laws affecting the rights of journalists; builds networks with provincial journalists and media workers; holds media sector forums and campaigns for public awareness of the role of the media in Afghanistan.
