A group of six women journalists will report on issues related to environmental conservation from 15-27 September, 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 organisation wishes to assume these costs.
The deadline to apply is June 15.
