The Journalism and Development Initiative, a component of CIDA’s Development Information Program, aims to support activities proposed by Canadian journalists who are interested in enhancing their professional experience in the field of international development and cooperation. Participants in the Journalism and Development Initiative will be better able to provide their audiences with in-depth analyses of international issues.
Purpose
To broaden and deepen journalists’ understand-ing of issues linked to international development and cooperation.
Objectives
- To enable journalists to leave “the beaten track,” and see first-hand the difficulties and realities faced by developing countries—their governments and their people.
- To encourage exchanges between Canadian journalists and journalists of developing countries and countries in transition.
- To promote linkages between journalists and Canadian civil society organizations that have international development knowledge and skills.
- To encourage more in-depth coverage of major international development and cooperation issues.
