International Women’s Media Foundation organizes trip to Central Africa

Women journalists with at least three years of experience and excellent English skills can apply for a reporting trip.

The International Women’s Media Foundation (IWMF) is accepting applications for reporting trips to the Central African Republic (CAR) and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).

Two groups of six women journalists will report from CAR and the DRC on issues related to civic engagement from July 12 to 24, 2016.

Fellows will begin their trip in Nairobi, Kenya, where they will complete comprehensive security training and an orientation about the African Great Lakes region and focus countries.

The IWMF pays for fellowship-related expenses including travel, lodging, meals and fixers/interpreters unless the fellow’s news organization wishes to assume these costs.

The deadline to apply is April 1.
