GI-TOC’s Resilience Fund Journalism Fellowship for West African Journalists in Africa

GI-TOC’s Resilience Fund Journalism Fellowship for West African Journalists in Africa



Grants:
  • This fellowship aims to address lack of financial support by providing grants for each successful applicant of €8 000 to journalists who submit successful proposals that link organized crime to instability issues.

    Capacity Building:
  • The grantees will have access to specially tailored capacity-building sessions. The Resilience Fund will provide each fellow with a mentor to support them in navigating their specific challenges and help them with opportunities to raise the profile of their work. The Resilience Fund’s liaisons will support the fellows by providing one-on-one project management technical assistance when needed.

    Networking and Collaboration:
  • The fellows will have opportunities to meet virtually at workshops, trainings and dialogues facilitated by the Resilience Fund, the GITOC West African Observatory of Illicit Economies and our partners. They will be invited to join the Resilience Fund Community Platform, which will give them access to funding opportunities, global dialogues and multilateral engagement after the Fellowship ends. There may be opportunities for in-person engagement.

    Selection Criteria
  • This fellowship is designed for journalists from Ghana, Côte d’Ivoire, Togo, Benin and Nigeria.
  • Applicants must therefore be based in, and a national of, one of these countries. Preference may be given to those based in or reporting on the northern areas of these countries.
  • Proposals should demonstrate a clear understanding of illicit economies within a conflict ecosystem, and show knowledge of local socio-political landscapes. Applicants must also exhibit awareness of security risks associated with reporting on these topics.
