Center for Investigative Journalism 2020-2023, core support Center för Undersökande Journalistik 2020-2023, kärnstöd CIN's Vision and Mission ultimate goal is to make sure CIN stories empower citizens, civil society and honest government representatives in BiH to request change and educate them to actively participate in democratic processes. 

CIN's Impact results identifies: Legal and institutional framework needs to be improved in order to eradicate corruption and enable equal access to rights/justice for all citizens. In order to do this CIN has indentified two main Outcome level results, that are further delineated to sub-outcomes and bridgeing outcome levels as portrayed in the Result Assessment Framework (RAF) they produced. 

Outcome I is identified in the following manner: People have access to accurate information about the corruption in public sector. Under this outcome CIN hope to achieve the following important results by the end of 2023: i) increase the production of stories to 35 per annum, ii) increase the number of audience on different platforms by 30%, iii) increase the number of stories developed by audience's interest to 20%, and iv) develop at least 10 stories as a result of engagement with the audience.

Outcome II is formulated in the following manner: Public officials prompted to prevent and tackle corruption. Under this outcome CIN plans to engage more closely with CSOs and other relevant actors from the professional public in order to excert pressure on authorities and institutions to respond to corruption findings, and work to decrease the possibilities for corruption and abuse of power to reoccur by improving legal framework and institutional response.  

As part of and in order for CIN to deliver its strategic objectives, the organisation has set three key priority areas for development and those are the following; Goal I) To advance its capacities to audience and monitor audience behaviors, Goal II) To enhance editorial convergence and improve competences to interact with the targeted audiences and Goal III) To diversify sources of income. CIN:s vision och mission och dess långsiktiga målsättning är att säkerställa att CIN journalistiska artiklar ger människor ökad kunskap och makt, och att civilsamhället och genuina offentliga beslutsfattare i Bosnien-Hercegovina (hädanefter BIH) är aktiva och deltar i politiska processer med syfte att förändringar samhället till det bättre.  

CIN:s övergripande resultatmål har identifierats enligt följande: legala och institutionella ramverk måste förbättras i syfte att bekämpa korruption samt och söka ge lika rättigheter och tillgång till rättvisa för alla medborgare (s.k. säkerställa rättsstatens funktion). För att kunna uppnå dessa ambitiösa mål har CIN indentifierat och brutit ned detta övergripande mål i två huvudsakliga resultatmål och som sedan i sin tur definierats i undermålsättningar samt i s.k överbryggande målsättningar. Dessa finns återspeglade i det resultatramverk som CIN framtagit. 

Övergripande resultatmål nr. I identifieras enligt följande: Människor ges tillgång till tillförlitlig information om korruption som emanerar från den offentliga sektorn. Under denna resultatmål hoppas CIN kunna uppnå följande viktiga resultat under 2023: i) ett ökat antal artiklar per år,  till 35, ii) ökat antal av besökare till CIN:s olika digitala plattformar med 30%, iii) ökat antal artiklar som utvecklats p.g.a. och genom publikens intresse, med 20%, samt iv) utveckla minst 10 artiklar som ett resultat av direkt engagement med CIN:s publik och dess läsarkrets.

Övergripande resultatmål nr. II identifieras enligt följande: Statliga och andra offentliganställda representanter påverkas att stoppa och motarbeta korruption. Som del av denna målsättning planerar CIN att engagera sig än mera med civilsamhälles organisationer samt andra relevanta aktörers i syfte att gemensam utöva ökat tryck på myndigheter och institutioner, samt kräva dessa på svar/åtgärder när korruption uppdagats. Det handlat även om att ökat samarbeta mellan parter för att minska möjligheter till korruption och missbruk dels genom förbättrad lagstiftning dels genom institutionell respons.  

Som en del av CIN:s arbete att kunna leverera dessa strategiska målsättningar; har organisationen angett tre centrala prioriteringar att utveckla som är följande; Mål I) att stärka kapaciteten vis-a-vis dess publik och åhörare, samt att mäta mottagarnas mottaglighet och agerande, Mål II) att förbättra CIN:s redaktionell samspel samt förbättra kompetensen hur man skall agera i relation till sina åhörare samt Mål III) att utveckla långsiktig finansiering av den journalistiska verksamheten.

CIN's stakeholders are General audience (BiH, regionally and Diaspora) and the prime targets groups of CIN's stories are to 75% between the ages of 25-55 years. Journalists, Media outlets, Civil Society Organisations and national decision makers and state institutions. As for the youth audience CIN which is less than 10%, CIN is not formulating messages specifically for that group but are considering them as part of their audience for sure. At the end of the intervention CIN as a media organisation hope that by informing general public accurately and fairly about corruption, organised crime and system deficiencies will inspire citizens (of BiH) to action, to initiate government to increase accountability and to promote standards of investigative reporting.
