Courses: At the core of the training program, originally developed in collaboration with Thomson Reuters Foundation, are two residential courses. The foundation Course A, an Africa regional workshop, will take place in Accra, Ghana, on 7-18 SEPTEMBER 2015. The follow-up Course B will consist of three parallel national workshops in Ghana, Tanzania, and Uganda. These will take place on dates to be determined later in the year. Benefits: Successful applicants will be sponsored and required to commit to and complete all aspects of the training. The program will run for six months and includes a series of individual and collective learning activities and professional support. The training will be delivered in partnership with PenPlusBytes in Ghana, Journalists’ Environmental Association of Tanzania, and African Centre for Media Excellence in Uganda.
