Botswana climate reporting gets boost as two join MESHA fellowship

The cohort is the second for the year-long climate change media fellowship implemented under the Action Research to Enhance Effective Coverage of Climate Change Issues in Africa (ARECCCA) project, with support from the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) Eastern and Southern Africa Office, based in Nairobi.

During the year-long engagement, MESHA will facilitate logistical facilitation and research mentorship to participants enabling their story production. Fellows will be required to identify and pitch two key projects to work on throughout the year in phases. The rigorous assessment process required applicants to submit previous climate stories that demonstrated conformity with MESHA’s requirements for reporting climate change through a gender lens.
