Yeah, I understand your issue. But let me inform you that there isn’t much information available about the asked opportunity. Please refer to this text it should help.
The International Center for Journalists (ICFJ) has announced a program to focus on religious freedom in Nigeria and Sudan –two of four African countries that the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom considers “of particular concern” because of the precarious state of religious freedom.
ICFJ has enlisted two trusted African partners. Code for Africa (C4A), the continent’s civic technology pioneer, sparks the use of open data and digital tools by media and NGOs to better engage citizens. ICFJ incubated C4A within its flagship program, the ICFJ Knight Fellowships. The second partner, Ayin, is a network of Sudanese journalists serving Sudan and the region with independent news about the realities of their troubled and divided country.
ICFJ will pool the respective strengths to train and link Nigerian and Sudanese journalists to illuminate issues of religious freedom across borders –also illustrating them with examples of tolerance and coexistence. They will help these journalists to use accessible and affordable technology, developed by ICFJ and C4A, to engage audiences over the issues they report. Doing this, they will spark deeper and better-informed public discourse, not only within national boundaries but across the region, building greater determination among individuals of goodwill to live with one another and to influence public policy for the better. Nigerians, Sudanese and other Africans will become better informed about the roots of the religious extremism that roil their countries and pose an international security threat. Read More
