THE Wits Centre for Journalism’s African Investigative Journalism Conference (AIJC), is inviting applications for its grants.
The grant is intended for journalists to investigate health issues in seven African countries: Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia, Tanzania, Lesotho, Swaziland, and South Africa.
The grants are supported by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
The grants are intended to enable and encourage knowledge and awareness of health issues among journalists, to encourage the exposure of health issues, and to give journalists the time and resources to do in-depth, investigative reporting.
Grants from US$1,000 to US$3,000 will be awarded.
Journalists or teams of journalists can apply for an investigative journalism grant.
The deadline for the submission of applications is May 15, 2023. Interested applicants can apply here.
