Applicants are invited to apply for impactAFRICA for the third round to support fund for data-driven storytelling. Run by Code for Africa, it offers $500,000 in grants and technical support for pioneering digital journalism that tackles development issues, such as public healthcare, in six African countries: Ghana,Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania and Zambia
WORTH
- The initiative is part of impactAFRICA, a $500,000 programme to provide support for pioneering African journalism that uses data or digital tools to tackle development issues, such as public healthcare, water, sanitation, the effects of air and water pollution on African communities, climate change, and other development issues related to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).
ELIGIBILITY
- impactAFRICA is open to applications from teams of journalists or news innovators from all across the world.
- impactAFRICA does not, however, support parachute journalism.
- All project teams should therefore include members from their target country, to ensure local context and local involvement in the storytelling.
- impactAFRICA also does not support window-dressing.
- Applicants should therefore ensure that all team members are integral to the project.
DEADLINE: November 11 2016
