MFWA Next Generation Investigative Journalism Fellowship 2025

Deadline: April 30, 2025

Are you a Ghanaian journalist eager to uncover how the country is losing money through illicit means? The Media Foundation for West Africa (MFWA) has an opportunity for you to make a difference. Apply now for the MFWA Next Generation Investigative Journalism Fellowship 2025.

Every year, Ghana loses billions of cedis through Illicit Financial Flows (IFFs). IFFs are monies that are illegally earned, transferred, or hidden across borders. These losses often come from tax evasion, corruption, illegal mining, smuggling, and shady business deals. The impact of IFFs is huge. It diverts funds meant for the construction of schools, hospitals, roads and other essential services that are crucial for the improvement of the quality of life. However, high-quality and impactful journalism can play a critical role in exposing these hidden financial crimes and contribute to holding the powerful people and institutions accountable.

With funding support from Oxfam in Ghana, MFWA is strengthening the social contract on Domestic Revenue Mobilisation (DRM) and fiscal justice through the media and collaboration with investigative financial journalists. This three-month, fully funded residential program will equip 20 selected journalists with hands-on training in investigative journalism, focusing on tax justice, domestic resource mobilisation, and IFFs.

Benefits

  • Intensive mentorship and practical training with the MFWA’s Independent Journalism Project: Fact-Check Ghana and The Fourth Estate.
  • Financial and editorial support to produce at least two major investigative and fact-check reports.
  • Specialised training on progressive taxation, domestic resource mobilisation, and illicit financial flows.
  • A Certificate of Honour upon successful completion.
  • Monthly stipend

Eligibility

  • Open to mid-career journalists from Ghana with at least four years’ experience.
  • Early-career journalists with a strong passion for investigative financial reporting can also apply.
  • Applicants must commit to full participation in the residential program (May–July 2025).
  • Women are strongly encouraged to apply. Journalists outside the Greater Accra Region are also strongly encouraged to apply.

Application

Send the following documents to [email protected] by April 30, 2025:

  • Motivation letter (Max. 250 words) explaining why you want to join
  • Two published news articles (print, TV, radio, or online)
  • Letter of consent from your employer (for staff journalists)
  • CV with two referees.

Note: This opportunity is open for Ghanaian journalists. Only shortlisted applicants will be contacted.
