The Afya na Haki Institute, in collaboration with RAES and the African Institute of Investigative Journalism, is launching a 3-month media fellowship under the theme: Navigating and mitigating the impact of complex global policies like the Global Gag Rule (GGR). Restrictive foreign policies initiated and backed by the U.S. government such as the GGR and Geneva Consensus Declaration have gravely impacted SRHR implementation, services, advocacy and work in Africa. These policies restrict access to SRHR care and services, disrupt partnerships and collaborations and increase financial constraints for the organisations and activists.
This Media Fellowship is designed to nurture and enhance the capacities of African journalists and communication experts with the knowledge, skills, and resources to effectively and strategically report on reproductive justice issues amidst the complex global policy shifts.
