A civil society organization dedicated to addressing the structural and institutional
causes of corruption and bad governance in Kenya has set up a competitive fellowship
to support talented journalists to investigate topical public interest in the area of
governance and anti-corruption reform. The fellowship, established by AfriCOG, is also
intended to enhance expertise in investigative journalism, generate a body of incisive
investigative reports on key governance, anti-corruption and public interest issues and
promote permanent civic vigilance.
AfriCOG says partnership with the media is critical in promoting permanent civic
vigilance because the media plays a key watchdog and agenda-setting role, which is
necessary for good governance. But currently, the media faces capacity constraints,
including limited skills development to undertake investigative journalism.
