On the Wednesday 21 February, the Press Club welcomes a delegation from the African Union (AU) Media Fellowship. This prestigious program aims to empower African media professionals, journalists and content creators to promote development-focused stories using emerging technologies.
To ensure Africa is at the forefront of defining and telling its own narrative to African and global audiences, the Information and Communication Directorate (ICD) of the African Union (AU) launched the AU Media Fellowship as a transformative platform to shape the African story and create a more accurate representation of Africa’s progress and opportunities using emerging digital technologies as a key tool for communication and engagement that will enable the continent to achieve the vision and aspirations of Africa’s Agenda 2063.
The AU Media Fellowship project is supported by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) , and by the European Union Delegation to the African Union, on behalf of the European Union.
