Apply Now: BudgIT GovSpend Media Fellowship Program 2023 |N200,000 monthly stipend
The BudgIT GovSpend Media Fellowship Program 2023 is now accepting applications. This media fellowship seeks to recruit and train 12 media fellows (journalists), two from each of Nigeria’s six geopolitical zones, on how to use the govspend platform, as well as other related issues linked to creative communication and data-driven storytelling.
The BudgIT media fellowship, which began in 2017, featured journalists who were focused on writing human-angle stories that raised advocacy on topics such as budget access, project tracking, the use of extractive revenues, social justice, anti-corruption, open governments, and transparency. BudgIT’s platform assisted in giving voice to the stories and supporting them with real-time data.
This year for three months- September to November, the selected 12 fellows would be supported to identify spending from the gov spend platform, investigate it, and establish value for money or corruption cases that may have occurred during the procurement process. The 12 investigative stories developed from the media fellowship will be published via the medium by which the fellows work on.
