International Women’s Media Foundation organizes trip to Uganda

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 a reporting trip to Uganda.

A group of six women journalists will report on issues related to environmental conservation from Sept. 15 to 27, 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. Then, they depart for a week of reporting based in Gulu, Northern Uganda, where they will have the opportunity to network with local journalists, collaborate with international peers and access a wide range of sources and sites.

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 June 15.
