Supported by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA), the objective is to strengthen media environments in Africa to act as a watchdog over actions of governments and vested-interested groups.
The grant programme covers 40 small grants of US$ 1 000 each which are meant for expenses only. An advisory committee will extend these grants to deserving journalists who cannot find time and resources to follow up on an important story.
