Water Journalists Africa

Water Journalists Africa, established in 2011 as a not-for-profit media organization, boasts a membership of journalists hailing from 50 African countries, dedicated to reporting on water, climate change, and wildlife across the continent. Our multifaceted approach encompasses the identification of cross-border water, wildlife and climate change data and narratives, the training and mentorship of journalists in environmental, data, and science journalism, and the facilitation of in-depth investigative reporting.

We facilitate connections between journalists, activists and scientists to collaborate on cross-border investigations and maps, which are disseminated through various media outlets on the continent.

Water Journalists Africa plays a crucial role in fostering collaboration among writers from diverse African nations, thereby promoting unity and coherence in addressing the continent’s water, wildlife, and climate change challenges.

One of our notable initiatives is InfoNile, established in 2017 as a geojournalism platform and cross-border network comprising approximately 1000 water and environmental journalists in the Nile Basin. InfoNile employs data journalism and multimedia formats to illuminate water and climate change crises in the region, as well as effective solutions. Within InfoNile, we operate Nilewell, a platform facilitating collaboration between journalists and scientists.

Our latest endeavor, the Apes Reporting Project, launched in 2020, harnesses the power of journalism for the conservation of the African great ape species. Formerly known as the Big Gorillas Story Project, this initiative is dedicated to safeguarding the African great ape species and their habitats in Africa through journalism. It brings together conservation journalists from over 21 African countries where these great apes reside.

Through the Apes Reporting Project, our goal is to enhance coverage of African great ape specie’ conservation and amplify local voices in the international discourse on ape conservation and protection.

We welcome partnerships and support for our endeavors.

Water Journalists Africa is duly registered as an NGO with Uganda’s National Bureau for NGOs (NGO Bureau). Oversight of the organization is carried out by a board of governors and an advisory body, both of which convene regularly to assess the organization’s programs and projects.
