IT Scholarships for North African Women Journalists

Internews has launched an information technology (IT) training programme for African and Asian women working in the media and other communication sectors. The programme, which provides 430 scholarships, is intended for women in the African countries of Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco, and the Asian countries of Bangladesh, Mongolia, Nepal and Sri Lanka. The scholarships are reserved for "exceptional" women from low-income communities who already use IT for public benefit, who can demonstrate entrepreneurship, and who have the potential to become local role models for girls in their societies.
