Covering Poverty and Food Security, 22-23 March, Jhb

Food riots across Africa, sparked by the global economic crisis, have made food security the continent’s most pressing issue. Is your newsroom equipped to cover the issue quickly, intelligently and in depth?

Sign up your journalists to the Regional Hunger and Vulnerability Programme’s two-day training workshop on Monday and Tuesday 22-23 March in Dunkeld West, Johannesburg.
