Why does Famidi retain media that it does not publish?

Reviewed by Famidi editorial team
Direct answer

Some files are useful for internal verification but unsuitable for public release because of privacy, consent, safety, duplication, quality, or irrelevant personal details.

What this means in practice

Transparency does not require publishing every frame.

Retained originals can help check editing, dates, and project continuity.

Access should remain limited to people with a legitimate operational or review need.

What responsible proof looks like at Famidi

Famidi separates financial records, operational records, and field evidence because they answer different questions. It favors precise claims and can document work through supplies, infrastructure, process, wide scenes, and source trails without demanding maximum exposure from recipients.

Evidence should be read for what it directly supports. Archive coverage is not automatically a beneficiary count, a fundraising appeal is not proof of completion, and one image rarely proves an entire project cycle.
