          The LDC5 journalism fellowship (the Fellowship) is being carried out by the United Nations Office of the High Representative for the Least Developed Countries, Landlocked Developing Countries and Small Island Developing States (UN-OHRLLS) in partnership with the Thomson Reuters Foundation (TRF).

          Application Deadline: 17 October 2021 – Click here to apply

          The Fellowship will be facilitated by TRF and aims to develop a stronger discipline of development journalism throughout the LDCs and prepare LDC journalists to report on the 5th UN Conference on the Least Developed Countries (LDC5) that will take place from 23-27 January 2022 in Doha, Qatar.

          The programme’s purpose is to equip a cohort of selected journalists throughout the LDCs with better reporting skills, so that people living in these countries are aware of global decisions being made on their behalf, can connect multilateral processes to their own lives and can hold decision makers to account.

          Journalists who complete the Fellowship will be offered the opportunity to travel and participate in the LDC5 conference.

          2.    Fellowship Programme

          The Fellowship will be divided into two parts:

          Virtual training programme by region: 15 – 26 November 2021 delivering on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays for Group C (conducted in English): Mozambique, Uganda, South Sudan, Sudan, Somalia, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Comoros, Madagascar, Tanzania, Yemen; 29 November – 10 December 2021 delivering on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays for Group A (conducted in French)-Haiti, Mali, Burkina Faso, Togo, Guinea, Burundi, Djibouti, Senegal, Benin, Chad, Mauritania, Niger, Democratic Republic of Congo; and for Group D (conducted in English) Afghanistan, Tuvalu, Solomon Islands, Timor-Leste, Cambodia, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Kiribati, Bhutan, Lao PDR, Nepal; 30 November – 16 December 2021 delivering during three weeks on Tuesdays and Thursdays for Group B (conducted in English) Central African Republic, Guiné-Bissau, Liberia, Angola, Zambia, Malawi, Lesotho, Rwanda, Gambia, São Tomé e Príncipe, Sierra Leone. Course duration will be six days, spread out over a two or three week period, i.e. two or three days per week, for approximately four hours/day

          Two-day refresher training course delivered in person from 22-23 January 2022 at LDC5 in Doha, Qatar. Trainers will also be present for the duration of LDC5 to support LDC journalists at the conference.
