Next Generation Investigative Journalism Fellowship in Ghana

Next Generation Investigative Journalism Fellowship in Ghana; Are you a Ghanaian journalist eager to uncover how the country is losing money through illicit means? The Media Foundation for West Africa (MFWA) has an opportunity for you to make a difference.

Every year, Ghana loses billions of cedis through Illicit Financial Flows (IFFs). IFFs are monies that are illegally earned, transferred, or hidden across borders. These losses often come from tax evasion, corruption, illegal mining, smuggling, and shady business deals.

The impact of IFFs is huge. It diverts funds meant for the construction of schools, hospitals, roads and other essential services that are crucial for the improvement of the quality of life.

However, high-quality and impactful journalism can play a critical role in exposing these hidden financial crimes and contribute to holding the powerful people and institutions accountable.

With funding support from Oxfam in Ghana, MFWA is strengthening the social contract on Domestic Revenue Mobilisation (DRM) and fiscal justice through the media and collaboration with investigative financial journalists.

Following the approved activities under the project titled Tax for Development: Strengthening Civil Society and Media for Fiscal Justice, the MFWA is inviting applications for the 6th edition of the Next Generation Investigative Journalism (NGIJ) Fellowship.

This three-month, fully funded residential program will equip 20 selected journalists with hands-on training in investigative journalism, focusing on tax justice, domestic resource mobilis ation, and IFFs.
