  • Health Journalists Link Up with Scientists at Science Cafés

    In this blog post, Ugandan freelance science journalist and trainer, Esther Nakkazi, reflects on her experience of executing “media science cafés” – a innovative project aimed at bringing science closer to journalists, and journalists closer to scientists and other key stakeholders involved in health and health research, advocacy and delivery, such as government officials, civil society, program implementers and others. Esther’s organization, Health Journalists Network in Uganda (HEJNU) is implementing this project in collaboration with AVAC. AVAC is partnering with partners in Zambia and Zimbabwe on similar projects. In her piece, Esther reflects on what this project is, their "wins and whines", and provides insights of some of the benefactors of this project.
