Applications are now open for the CEHURD Media Fellowship 2026, a program grounded in the belief that strong, ethical journalism can shift how societies understand and respond to health and human rights. The fellowship will bring together 30 journalists from across selected districts in Uganda and equip them with practical skills in investigative reporting, strategic communication, and gender-responsive storytelling, with a particular focus on sexual and reproductive health and rights. Through a training scheduled for 25th–29th May 2026, participants will deepen their ability to produce accurate, compelling, and impactful stories that inform public discourse and strengthen accountability.

CEHURD is seeking journalists with at least two years of experience, a relevant academic background, and a clear interest in health and human rights reporting, who have not previously participated in its media fellowships.

Applicants must be reporting from Kampala Metropolitan (including Mukono), Namayingo, Yumbe, Arua, Buikwe, Kamuli, or Mayuge, and should submit an application form along with a recommendation letter to support@cehurd.org, copying nabunya@cehurd.org, with the subject line Application for Media Fellowship 2026. The application deadline is Friday, 24th April 2026, and only successful candidates will be contacted.
