Deadline: July 21, 2024

Applications are open for the UNCCD Training Workshop for French-speaking Journalists 2024. Prior the 16th Conference of the Parties (COP16) to the UNCCD, the Convention Secretariat is organizing a training session for French-speaking journalists who cover the African continent on desertification and the role of the media in promoting sustainable land management practices.

This training will take place during 2-6 September 2024, in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, on the sideline of the 20th African Ministerial Conference on the Environment (AMCEN). Journalists will have the opportunity to exchange with experts in sustainable land management and desertification, and to participate in a field visit. The workshop will address major concerns related to land degradation, desertification and drought, as well as the role of the media in this context and strategies specific to better address these subjects.

Costs

  • The travel and accommodation costs of successful candidates will be covered by the UNCCD.
  • However, participants are encouraged to take the following steps:
    • Health certificate, if required
    • Travel insurance (if applicable)
    • All other travel-related arrangements, except airfare

Eligibility

  • Open to French-speaking journalists interested in environmental issues.

Application

Each applicant must submit:

  • A letter of recommendation from the editor-in-chief of the applicant’s organization. Freelancers must provide a copy of the press card.
  • A cover letter of one page maximum explaining the journalist’s interest in participating in the workshop.
  • Links or copies of the last three reports or publications on the subject.

Complete application files can be sent to [email protected] by 11:59 pm Central European Time (CET) on 21 July 2024, indicating as subject: “Candidature pour l’atelier d’Abidjan”.
