Application Deadline: December 8th 2021
African Centre for Media Excellence (ACME) in partnership with the United States Mission in Uganda invites applications for an online course on reporting health and HIV/AIDS. This course – Entrenching Knowledge-Based Health Journalism in Uganda – seeks to improve the media’s capacity to offer quality coverage of the health sector that informs and empowers ordinary people to demand their rights and hold the powerful to account.
Participating journalists will receive a scholarship to attend an intensive 5-day workshop led by ACME’s training team and experts in the fields of healthcare and HIV/AIDS. By the end of the workshop, they will leave with a greater understanding of current debates and issues in Uganda’s healthcare sector, a deeper knowledge of the players and their progress in achieving the country’s health development goals, and tools to produce content that informs and engages audiences.
Requirements

Applicants are expected to:
- Have at least two years experience working in the media
- Be ready to participate in all five days of the in-person workshop
