NORAD program offers free training on illicit finance reporting [Africa]

Journalists who are fluent in English and have at least two years of experience can apply for the Wealth of Nations - Illicit finance (NORAD) program.

The Thomson Reuters Foundation, in partnership with the Institute for the Advancement of Journalism, is looking for journalists based anywhere in Africa to take part in a long-term scheme that will develop their ability to report on illicit financial flows.

Selected journalists will participate in intensive training covering illicit finance, reporting on companies, accounts and budgets and investigative techniques. The program will take place Feb. 3 to 7, 2020 in Cape Town.

Participants will propose one or more story ideas and receive modest funding to realize their stories. The organization also covers air travel expenses, accommodation, local transfers and meals relating to the training.

The deadline is Nov. 26.
