Information in English
The Rainforest Journalism Fund aims to support and build capacity of local, regional, and international journalists reporting on issues related to tropical rainforests. One of the three rainforest regions of focus is the Congo Basin, spanning across countries including the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Republic of the Congo, Central African Republic, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, and Cameroon. The Congo Basin RJF advisory committee is composed of leaders in journalism on issues relating to tropical rainforests, and members help to inform the priorities and direction of this initiative with their critical understanding of regional and local contexts.
Members of the Congo Basin RJF advisory committee review and provide independent guidance for proposals for local and regional reporting projects focusing on tropical rainforests in the greater region. The committee also helps to develop annual convenings for journalists reporting from and on the Congo Basin. Current members of the Congo Basin RJF Advisory Committee are:
- David Akana, Knowledge Management & Communications Specialist at African Development Bank - Cameroon
- Adrienne Engono Epse Moussang, Mutations - Cameroon
- Privat Tiburce Massanga, Radio MUCODEC - Congo-Brazzaville
- Alfred Ntumba, Enviro-News RDC - Democratic Republic of the Congo
- Sonia Rolley, Radio France International (RFI) - France
