Voices of Migrants – new Sahel media project

International Media Support (IMS), in collaboration with Niger Press House, are launching a new project on the theme of migration.

Named “Voices of migrants”, the project aims at stimulating media productions from Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger.

Media professionals specialised in migration will be able to apply for financial support in the form of scholarships and must in turn produce reports, surveys and other forms of audiovisual content on the issue of migration; its reasons and implications.

In addition to the funding, the selected media workers will also attend workshops.

Located on the edge of the Sahel and the Sahara, Niger has become a transit country for people migrating to Europe.

The project ends in April 2018.
