About this organization
Mission
Since 1990, the International Women's Media Foundation (IWMF) has worked to unleash the potential of women journalists as champions of press freedom to transform the global news media. We seek to ensure that women journalists worldwide are fully supported, protected, recognized and rewarded for their vital contributions at all levels of the news media. As a result, consumers will increase their demand for news with a diversity of voices, stories and perspectives as a cornerstone of democracy and free expression.
About
AFRICAN GREAT LAKES REPORTING INITIATIVE - THE AFRICAN GREAT LAKES REPORTING INITIATIVE WAS CREATED IN 2014, BUILDING ON THE SUCCESS OF EARLIER IWMF REPORTING TRIPS TO THE WESTERN SAHARA AND EASTERN DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO (DRC). THE IWMF DESIGNED THIS PROGRAM TO SUPPORT JOURNALISTS INTERESTED IN PURSUING STORIES THAT GO BEYOND THE WELL-ESTABLISHED PATH OF POLITICAL INSTABILITY, ARMED CONFLICTS, AND HUMANITARIAN CRISES IN THE REGION. THIS INITIATIVE INCLUDES REPORTING FELLOWSHIPS FOR WOMEN JOURNALISTS TO THE CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC, THE DRC, RWANDA, SOUTH SUDAN, TANZANIA, AND UGANDA. WHILE THERE, THE IWMF TEAM ALSO PROVIDES SECURITY TRAINING AND SUPPORT FOR IN-COUNTRY JOURNALISTS. THROUGH THIS INITIATIVE, IWMF FELLOWS HAVE COVERED A WIDE RANGE OF UNDER-REPORTED ISSUES INCLUDING ISSUES OF EMPOWERMENT, DEMOCRACY, FOOD SECURITY, AND CONSERVATION EFFORTS. THEIR WORK HAS BEEN PRODUCED AND PUBLISHED BY LEADING MEDIA OUTLETS AROUND THE WORLD.
