DOCmed, a training programme implemented by Beirut DC (Lebanon), Eurodoc (France), and Doc à Tunis (Tunisia), in association with Arte France in the framework of the EU-funded Euromed Audiovisual III programme, works on international co-production of creative documentaries on a project basis. It is addressed to producers and directors/producers of Mediterranean Arab countries who are developing a project of international ambition. It aims at improving production standards, financing, and the management of documentary projects with international ambition, offering participants the opportunity to present their projects, helping them take on technological changes, setting up a network of professionals in the sector, and promoting exchange between Mediterranean and European audiovisual experts.  Each year, 10 professional documentary producers are chosen to participate in the DOCmed programme.
 
The Euromed Audiovisual III programme aims to contribute to the development and strengthening of the capacity of the film sector in the ENPI South region (Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Occupied Palestinian Territory, Syria, Tunisia) and to contribute significantly to mutual understanding, intercultural dialogue and cultural diversity, in line with the "Strategy for the Development of Euro-Mediterranean Audiovisual Cooperation", approved by Euromed culture ministers in Athens in May 2008. (ENPI Info Centre)
