Five cities, three days, celebrating great work from Africa
The African Investigative Journalism Conference (AIJC) celebrates, enriches and promotes the continent’s investigative reporting. This year the conference will be a hybrid (online and face-to-face) event run out of five cities simultaneously.
We offer sponsorship to a limited number of African journalists to attend in person in their nearest host city. We will provide courses in a range of skills, networking events and inspiring talks. The conference will be conducted in English and French. More information at www.aijc.africa
Fellowships are open to journalists with a proven track record in investigative journalism who want to develop their skills and network with their colleagues.
The Fellowship will cover flights to the host city within your region, airport transfers, accommodation in single rooms, transport to and from the conference, meals and conference fees. It does not cover home-country transport, visa costs, personal in-country transport and hotel incidentals.
Fellows will be asked to write at least one article arising out of the conference.
