The International Centre for Investigative Reporting (ICIR) is inviting applications from journalists for training/capacity building in the specialized areas of business — illicit financial flows, taxes & taxation and finance reporting — oil & gas, power/energy, and other related beats.

The project, supported by Ford Foundation, will enhance participants’ knowledge about these sectors and build their skills on investigative reporting and data journalism.

After the training, the project will also provide funding for the journalists to work with the ICIR to undertake investigative reporting on the aforementioned critical sectors of the economy.

Applications, therefore, are requested from qualified journalists from the print, online and electronic (Radio & Television) media who cover these beats and are passionate about investigative journalism.

Applicants must have a minimum of three years’ experience as a practising journalist and must be working with (attached to) a media house.

Application for this training is online. Any other mode of application other than the online application will not be accepted. Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.

Qualified female journalists are highly encouraged to apply.
