. Benin
En matière d’éducation aux médias, les toutes premières expériences de la République du Bénin sont celles d’édition de journaux par les collèges. Dans les années 1980, le Club UNESCO du Collège d’Enseignement Général de Davié à Porto-Novo éditait déjà un journal qui n’a pas eu une longue durée de vie. Depuis 1992, l’office de la radiodiffusion et de la télévision du Bénin ouvre ses antennes aux vacanciers pour entrer dans le secret de la profession du journalisme à la radio. Depuis, l’expérience ne s’est plus arrêtée en passant de la dénomination d’antenne vacance à celle de « Vacance Radio ». En 1998, le quotidien béninois « Le Matinal « institut le programme « Regard sur les vacanciers » qui deviendra par la suite le programme « Médias Vacance »

Ghana's first experience with NIE was in 1998, when WAN and UNESCO's Education for All Forum asked South Africa's Media in Education Trust to conduct an NIE workshop for nine African countries. Ghana's representatives at the workshop returned to their country and trained educators and officials in the concept of NIE, thus laying the foundation for the present day Media in Education Trust-Ghana. MiET-Gh seeks to complement the work of both the Ministry of Education and the Ghana Education Service in providing innovative approaches to classroom methodology.
