The third edition of the Saliou Traoré Prize for Spanish-language journalism, established by Efe and Casa África, opened to candidates Monday. The prize rewards work that brings the reality of the African continent to the general public.
The Efe-Casa África joint initiative, which was created in 2019 in memory of Saliou Traoré, the agency s Senegal-based correspondent who passed away on 13 October 2018, seeks to recognize journalists focusing their attention on inclusive, sustainable and egalitarian development, as well as social life and solidarity.
EFE s President Gabriela Cañas said: “We hope that, despite the pandemic, which has reduced mobility throughout the world, we will receive the usual high level of journalistic work and continue to bring the most positive and richest reality of African countries to Ibero-America, and to not stop learning about Africa.”
