The Association for Media Development in South Sudan (AMDISS) is a media association based in Juba, South Sudan. It was founded in 2003.[1][2][3]

The group works to help strengthen the media and provide a framework in South Sudan to ensure freedom of speech, the right to information and other human rights,[4] and aims to protect freedom of expression, freedom of the press, and the allowance of self-regulation by the media.[5] The AMDISS was also established to tackle the problem of the South Sudanese government understanding poorly the roles and duties of the media in the country.[6]
