Selected journalists will receive reporting grants to produce in-depth stories that will call attention to Mekong water governance from a gender and social inclusion perspective.
The Mekong River basin provides vital resources – from food and refuge to diverse cultural assets – to more than 300 million people residing in six countries, namely, Cambodia, China, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam. Among them are women and girls who are usually tasked with household chores that directly involve the use and management of water.
The media plays a crucial role in amplifying the voices of communities and groups that are affected by Mekong water governance, through news reporting that highlights the challenges and solutions from various perspectives.
This project is supported by Oxfam.
Fifteen journalists will be selected for this program. The workshop will be held in Nong Khai province, Northeast of Thailand, tentatively on 13-15 September 2022 with a one-day field trip on 14 September in Sangkhom District, Nong Khai province.
