Following the devastating tropical Cyclone Idai that hit Mozambique from 14 to 15 March 2019 and moved to Zimbabwe and Malawi, the UNESCO Regional Office for Southern Africa (ROSA) commissioned two rapid assessments on national media disaster preparedness in countries affected by Cyclone Idai. The two assessment reports titled, “An assessment of Malawi Media in Disaster Risk Reduction: The case of Cyclone IDAI” and “Response to Cyclone IDAI by the Media in Zimbabwe: An assessment” were launched during the Media Workshop on reporting disasters held on 10 March 2021.
The publications show that the media in both Malawi and Zimbabwe had some challenges in reporting on the cyclone particularly prior to and during the disaster. Lack of adequate resources and need for capacity building on reporting natural disasters were identified as major contributing factors.

Abuja – Nigeria continues to be a country of origin, transit, and destination of migrants where the media has an influential role in shaping public opinion about migration. Fake news, misinformation and stigmatization have been witnessed before and during the pandemic. As no country is impervious to this ‘infodemic’, fact-based journalism in Nigeria is critical.
On 18 December, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) awarded the winners of the first-ever Migration Reporter awards in Abuja, the capital of Nigeria.
The Migration Reporter competition, funded by the Government of the Netherlands, aims at increasing awareness and improving access to trusted sources of information, and promoting informed decision-making for Nigerians exploring migration opportunities. The competition also aims to showcase rigorous reporting on online and print platforms, as well as video and radio.
