Deadline: 29-Mar-23
The Africa-China Reporting Project (ACRP) is calling for applications for reporting grants to support collaborations between reporters and/or researchers in Africa and Southeast Asia on shared developments relating to Chinese engagement in both regions.
The grant will support shared and collaborative reporting by reporters and/or researchers in African and Southeast Asian countries, with the aim of producing co-written and/or complimentary media outputs, to be published in publications in both regions at once. Overall, the Project is aimed at encouraging South-South knowledge sharing and conversations about China’s growing role across the developing world. Applicants are encouraged to investigate and uncover local and on-the-ground impacts of China’s South-South engagements.
Successful collaborative investigations and publications stand to be featured in The China in Africa Podcast, by the China-Global South Project. Furthermore, successful reporters and authors stand to participate in the Annual ACRP Journalists Forum, in Johannesburg, South Africa.
