THE ACOS Alliance, in partnership with IREX, is inviting applications to its East Africa Safety Training 2024 for local and freelance journalists.
In line with the ACOS Alliance safety principles, the course is designed to help journalists who face risks and safety challenges in their work to be better prepared.
The training will focus on digital security, psychological safety, and first aid, taught by an experienced and qualified medic. The course will be in English.
