EARS is proud to collaborate with the Nile Basin Media Network (NBMN), MiCT, GIZ, and others to empower journalists from 10 Nile basin countries in addressing the pressing issue of plastic pollution.
Over 30 journalists gathered in Kampala for a five-day workshop to deepen their understanding of plastic pollution’s impact on the environment and public health. Through field visits and citizen science, they are now equipped to bring these critical stories to light and influence change.
As Dr. Florence Grace Adongo, Executive Director of NBI, said, “Journalists play a crucial role in shaping public opinion and informing policy debates.”
We believe that through cross-border collaboration, the media can drive impactful solutions to this transboundary crisis.
Let’s raise awareness and inspire action for a cleaner, greener future!
