Deadline: 24-Aug-22
The African Centre for Media Excellence (ACME), with support of the Natural Resource Governance Institute, is calling for applications from journalists in Uganda interested in attending this year’s training programme on effective coverage of the oil and gas sector.
Details
- The training consists of a series of two core courses to take place in Kampala. The first course, a foundational one, will last five days i.e. from 12—16 September 2022. The second course, slated for the third week of October, is a follow-up workshop that will run for eight days, including a study trip to the oil and gas activity sites in the Albertine.
- The courses offer knowledge and skills modules within a context of holistic and comprehensive support to journalists. This support is through mentoring, study trips, coaching, access to sources, use of data, innovative use of digital and online databases, as well as interaction with peers, experts, policymakers, and oversight actors. The courses are interactive, practical, and participant-driven.
Eligibility Criteria
- This call is intended for mid-career journalists in Uganda working with media organisations, including online platforms. Freelance journalists are free to apply. Selected journalists will be fully sponsored and required to commit to and complete all aspects of this residential training programme before, during, and after the courses.
- Female journalists are especially encouraged to apply.
