The Maternal and Child Health Reporting Fellowship is a joint program of the UN Foundation and the International Center for Journalists. The program will send nine journalists on a reporting trip to South Africa and Mozambique. The fellows will be in Johannesburg during The Partnership for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health Conference, to be held June30 – July 1.
The reporting tour will offer fellows the opportunity to conduct site visits to villages, clinics and schools to speak with women, children and health professionals about the everyday issues they face.
Fellows will depart from their home countries on June 29 for South Africa and return on July 8 from Mozambique. The fellowship covers all costs, including airfare, visas, accommodations, ground transportation and meals.
Journalists who are fluent in English and work full-time at a media organization can apply. The deadline for applications is May 12.
