Media Challenge Initiative

It's happening RIGHT NOW! 🚀 We have launched the Regional Youth Information Hub, a platform where young people can access information, develop digital media skills, and engage in civic dialogue. #YIGAproject #KaramojaYouthHub

📣📣📣 Watch the participants in the #ReporterSlamAfrica2026 describe their experience! A new way to experience journalism that deserves the spotlight!🔦🌟

The result was an evening of journalism at its most human - urgent, honest, and deeply moving. #ReporterSlamAfrica2026 exists because we believe that the people who cover our continent's most important stories deserve a stage of their own.

Six journalists from across Sub-Saharan Africa took to the #ReporterSlamAfrica2026 stage to do something rare in today's media landscape: tell their stories live, in person. @KasMedia @KasUganda

This #MediaFellowshipUg was in partnership with @euinug and the @dw_akademie.

The conversations were real. And the way our #nextgenjournalists see storytelling? Completely shifted. Because when you understand systems, you don't just report the fire, you follow the smoke all the way back to its source.

What if your story could change a system not just report on it? That's exactly what our #nextgenjournalists explored during the Systems Thinking session by @dw_akademie's Jonathan Tusubira.

In an era of misinformation & shrinking civic space, data-driven journalism is more critical than ever. Equipping #nextgenjournalists with these skills is an investment in democracy itself. This #MediaFellowshipUg week was in partnership with the @EUinUG and @dw_akademie.

Our #MediaFellowshipUg fellows learnt the fundamentals of data journalism & why it matters. They also learnt how to source credible, reliable data for public accountability reporting as well as visualization techniques that transform complex datasets into compelling narratives.

📊 Data tells the story. At the #MediaFellowshipUg, our #nextgenjournalists learnt how to find it, read it, and hold power accountable.

Their stories are a testament to what happens when #nextgenjournalists are given the space, mentorship, support, and training to grow. This #MediaFellowshipUg week is in partnership with @EUinUG and @dw_akademie.

The #MediaFellowshipUG wasn't just a programme for Umaru and Felly. It was a turning point. A community. A professional awakening that sharpened how they report, how they think, and how they serve the public interest.

The best investment in journalism is in the people who practice it. Our #MediaAlumniUG members @Ssenyonjoumaru and @Fellyakullu reflected on their time in the #MediaFellowshipUG and their testimonials speak volumes to the 2026 fellows. @882SanyuFM

This Public Accountability and Transparency training enabled our 26 #MediaFellowshipUg fellows to gain the skills to report on governance, track decisions, and amplify the voices of citizens. This Fellowship week is in partnership with @EUinUG and @dw_akademie.

Good journalism doesn't just report what happened. It asks why, who decided & what comes next. When citizens hold power to account, public services improve and lives change. These are some of the insights shared by Leonard Imanishimwe with our 2026 #MediaFellowshipUg fellows.

Under the theme GIVE TO GAIN, they've been quietly doing the work and now, it's time to share it. Keep your eyes open. @DivineMercyNal @ShibaNakakande @GloryJolly1 @myrahkayug #WomensMonth #GiveToGain
