Closing is opening: Mid year update- July 2009
- Posted on Friday 3 July 2009 - 16:59Olivier Nyirubugara, VoicesofAfrica coordinatorThe mobile reporting projects in Kenya and Tanzania have been closed. A total of six young men and women out of the initial nine have successfully completed the programme. They are now able to make informative reports with their mobile phones.Loading video...They are able to chase news and of course assignment givers, because that is the ultimate goal of the project: equipping the reporters with skills and tools so that they can stand on their own feet and earn a living in the world of media. Our call to all the friends and supporters of the projects is to help us identify potential assignment givers in those countries.
They might be governmental or non-governmental organizations whose activities need to be given more visibility with a local perspective. In the meantime, we are launching another project in Kenya. Trainees are about to start learning about how mobile phones amazingly make news reports!
