An African body out to strenghten the investment climate on the continent have set up a journalism training programme in order to improve business, investment and financial journalism standards across Africa, according to Daily Monitor.
The scheme is a product of The Investment Climate Facility (ICF), a body focusing on removing business constraints across the continent. The reporting training programme is in partnership with the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
A group of 20 successful applicants will be invited to join the programme and undertake training in either London, Paris or Lisbon.
"This is an important project as it will not only increase domestic and foreign confidence in regional reporting but will also increase awareness of the importance of the investment climates for the future of Africa. We truly believe that financial and business reporting should be 'by Africa for Africa'," said Mr Omari Issa, Chief Executive Officer of ICF, according to Bizcommunity.com
