Gaza Centre for Media Freedom (GCMF), which enjoys autonomy aims to contribute to capacity development of Palestinian journalists, and press- and media institutions in the Palestinian territories, through training and development and the provision of financial, logistical and legal aid.
GCMF was founded in the end of 2008 as Gaza Center for Media Freedom and Journalism. In 2009 GCMF became a local branch of Doha Centre for Media Freedom (DCMF) in Qatar, carrying the name DCMF Palestine. In 2012 the GCMF decided to start operating independently from DCMF as Gaza Centre for Media Freedom. This independent status enables GCMF.

Mission and Objectives:

- Provide direct assistance and advanced tools for training and rehabilitation to develop local press institutions and professional skills of journalists.
- Provide equipment for local journalists working piecework and newly arriving journalists such as protective vests, radio recording devices, cameras, and photographs to be used for a limited period for a token fee.
- Defend the rights of journalists and contribute to the promotion of media freedom in the Palestinian Territories in line with Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which states that "everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.”
