Flashback Friday

Honoured to have been part of the organising team for the Media Parity Capacity Building Programme in Johannesburg, which officially came to completion on 17 April, 2026.

Over the past two years, this impactful initiative by CFI Media Development and Gender Links has strengthened gender-aware journalism, supported newsroom transformation, and advanced efforts to combat sexual harassment across Southern Africa.

At DOPE, we are deeply grateful for the opportunity to contribute to a programme that empowered media professionals across Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, and Zambia. We look forward to continuing this important work and to the next chapter of collaboration and impact. SouthernAfrica
