Empowering journalists to exercise their rights as key users of Access to Information (ATI) laws, UNESCO Accra office and DW Akademie have collaborated to strengthen the capacity of Ghanaian journalists in investigative journalism and digital safety.
A total of 12 journalists were selected, out of 48 applications, to take part in a 3-week intensive training. The training aimed at investigative journalists working in sensitive contexts, while linking their work to the broader perspective of the 2030 Agenda of Sustainable Development.
Although the participants have produced investigative reports in the past, they have not really exercised their right to access to information under the new Act. The training, therefore, has provided them with the basis to be involved in tracking the implementation of the Act.
Turkey: Teacher for Syrian refugee children
Format
KfW has been supporting Syrian teachers to teach refugee children since 2016. At the beginning of October KfW signed a further EUR 50 million contract with the children s relief organisation UNICEF on behalf of the German Federal Government so that the project can be continued successfully even under the difficult living and teaching conditions in corona times.
Around 1.6 million Syrian refugee children live in Turkey, and not all of them have attended school so far. Corona has made the situation much worse.
The children of Syrian refugees in Turkey suffer particularly from the corona crisis, as they have hardly any access to the Internet and cannot take part in digital lessons. In addition, there are language problems, as many of them do not yet speak Turkish well. Since March, schools in Turkey have been closed due to COVID 19. It is only now that face-to-face teaching is gradually being resumed.
Sprinting across Africa towards media viability
Ten media organizations from all over Africa are working with DW Akademie to assess their media viability. V-Sprint, a new assessment concept, allows outlets to quickly evaluate and adapt to changing media landscapes.
One of the first V-Sprints, which is part of the EU project Covid-19 Response in Africa: Together for Reliable Information , was held in Kenya with the Bloggers Association of Kenya (BAKE).
The Viability-Sprint (V-Sprint) is a fast-paced, interactive assessment process for media outlets developed by DW Akademie. It allows outlets to explore and validate their viability but also to design or re-adjust strategies in response to shifting political and socio-economic environments.
