UN fellowship for journalists from developing countries

Journalists from developing countries can apply for a UN fellowship.

The Reham Al-Farra Memorial Journalists’ Fellowship Programme, sponsored by the UN General Assembly, gives journalists from developing countries and countries in transition the opportunity to spend six weeks at the United Nations headquarters in New York City.

Participants take part in briefings, visit major media outlets and travel to Washington, D.C. for meetings at the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.

Candidates must be between the age of 22 and 35, be employed for a recognized media outlet and fluent in English. The fellowship includes flights and a daily stipend to cover housing, meals and other transportation.

To find a list of eligible countries, candidates must contact the United Nations Information Centre or United Nations Development Programme office closest to them. Applicants will be selected in June.
