Apply for grants to investigate corruption

DEADLINE: FEBRUARY 11, 2022 —The Centre for Information Technology and Development (CITAD) is offering sub-grants to journalists to produce investigative reports on corruption.

The programme, which is supported by the MacArthur Foundation, will take place in three phases.

The first part is a capacity building training where 20 selected journalists will undergo a two-day training to improve their investigation capacity and accountability reporting skills.

For the second phase, 10 of the trained journalists will receive sub-grants to investigate some concrete corruption or accountability issues at community level.

During the third stage, three of the submitted reports would be awarded gifts and promoted in various media.

Journalists working with Radio, Television, Newspaper or Online Newspapers in any of these States: Plateau, Nassarawa, Kano, Jigawa, Gombe and Bauchi can apply.

Applicants must have published or broadcast at least two anti-corruption reports.

To apply, send a cover later, short profile, a brief about the media where you work, and copies of two previously published or broadcast reports to info@citad.org.

The deadline for applications is February 11, 2022.
