Journalists, photojournalists and video journalists up to 35 years of age and interested in energy and environment issues can apply to attend a conference in Addis Ababa.
The AEEP Secretariat invites young journalists to be part of and contribute to the 2nd High-Level Meeting of the Africa-EU Energy Partnership (AEEP) on February 12-13.
Up to 10 young journalists will be selected to work together, under the guidance of the communications team at the AEEP High-Level Meeting.
While at the conference, journalists will report on the sessions through press releases, social and new media channels, video clips and interviews, and the official website. In addition, they will have the opportunity to submit stories, interviews, and reports to their own countries/outlets.
Prior to the conference, each journalist will be required to submit one short story or video about an energy issue of his or her choice in their own country for publication.
As part of the scholarship, the selected journalists will receive a pre-conference briefing/training session with the AEEP Secretariat, a round-trip economy class travel ticket to Addis Ababa, as well as accommodation and subsistence for the duration of their stay, including a refund of visa costs, and airport transfers.
Applicants must be fluent in English. French is an advantage.
The deadline is Jan. 19.
