AIJC 2021 Five Cities Conference: Call for co-hosting partners

The African Investigative Journalism Conference (AIJC) has been hosted since 2005 at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. It has grown to become the biggest annual gathering of working journalists on the continent, a meeting place for investigative reporters and a showcase of the best work from the continent. 

 

To make the most out of pandemic conditions, the organisers are planning AIJC2021 as a hybrid conference with small, safe, simultaneous gatherings in five African cities, live-streamed to the rest of the continent.

 

The organisers seek partners in each region of Africa (other than Southern Africa, where they are based) to co-host these meetings.
