News and civil society organizations from 11 countries are in the first cohort of fellowships designed to elevate local expertise
Internews’ work to support independent media is built on a foundation of partnerships with local communities.
Today, from Internews’ network of nearly 700 partners, we launch a new year-long fellowship with 11 organizations representing the best in their communities, creating new opportunities to learn from partner experiences, while sharing resources and expertise to help the cohort of Fellows succeed. Already the engagement with the Fellowship has boosted morale among our members,” said Fredrick Mugira, founder and managing director of the Water Journalist Africa Network. “It’s important for us to be connected with others who share the same goals and deal with similar challenges.”
