Thomson Reuters Foundation in partnership with the Media Development Centre is looking for Arabic-speaking journalists based in Africa who are motivated to understand how their country could be losing money via illicit means.
Wealth of Nations is a long-term engagement, and journalists who take part must commit to all elements of the scheme, signing an agreement to this effect. These elements include:
- The production of stories or investigations on illicit financial flows
- A mentoring support scheme that will help produce these stories
- Intensive training on reporting illicit finance
- The first workshop will take place from February 18 – 22, 2019 at the Media Development Centre in Tunis
- Selected participants will be invited to a follow-up workshop from April 4 – 6, 2019
Journalists will not be considered to have completed the scheme until they have completed all the elements, which include producing at least one story or investigation on illicit financial flows and will not receive their certificates until this point.
