Minority Africa Fellowship for African Journalists and Storytellers 2023

The Minority Africa Fellowship, a project by Minority Africa, a digital publication using data-driven multimedia journalism to tell African minority stories, targets journalists and storytellers from minority groups across Africa, providing them with the platform, skills, and mentorship to report stories from and about their communities.

Through an intensive six-month paid program, fellows will polish their existing reporting abilities both from a skill and thematic perspective but will also be trained on the intersecting areas and groups of focus for the fellowship. This means that fellows are taught and leave the fellowship knowing how to cover groups outside of the immediate communities they belong to.

Eligibility Criteria

• Fellows have to be at least 18 years of age, they have to be from and living in an African country and belong to at least one of the minority groups highlighted in the focus areas above.
• They can be writers, photographers, filmmakers, journalists, or a combination of all and have relevant and provable work experience in their chosen areas.

Benefits of Minority Africa Fellowship Minority Africa Fellowship
