Meet the Next Generation of Journalists Covering Africa’s Digital Public Infrastructure
The Collaboration on International ICT Policy for East and Southern Africa (CIPESA), in partnership with Co-Develop, is pleased to announce the inaugural cohort of Fellows selected for the Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) Journalism Fellowship for Eastern Africa following an open call in April 2025.
This six-month regional fellowship aims to cultivate a new generation of journalists with the knowledge and skills to investigate and report on DPI and Digital Public Goods (DPGs). Fellows will take part in specialised training sessions, mentorship, and receive financial support to develop and produce impactful stories in diverse formats and languages. The stories will interrogate the development and deployment of DPI and DPGs with a focus on their implications for governance, inclusion and equity, and citizens’ everyday lives. Learn more here
