Between 2010 and 2013 I was a Knight Health Fellow in Mozambique, with a brief to improve health reporting. With Women in Law\/Mozambique, I designed a<\/strong> curriculum and led five training courses for community radio reporters<\/strong> on sexual and reproductive health and rights.<\/p>

\u00a0In 2014, as Technical Adviser to IREX in Mozambique,\u00a0I designed and conducted multimedia training labs for young reporters unfamiliar with digital tools.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>

They learned\u00a0 to put up and manage the project\u00a0 website, upload their multimedia stories, shoot and edit photos, as well as\u00a0 refining their interviewing, investigative and writing skills. It was a fantastic experience to see them grow in confidence and ability to work online.<\/p>

Over three months we explored the nearby Mercado do Povo<\/strong> (People\u2019s Market), \u00a0Maputo\u2019s oldest\u00a0 popular food market. See the online reportage here<\/a> and the magazine here.<\/a><\/p>

We covered the annual pilgrimage to the sanctuary of the Virgin of Namaacha<\/strong>, 80km from Maputo, the capital. That was great fun and\u00a0 hard work. One reporter chose to walk with the faithful and report along the way.<\/p>

The pilgrimage,\u00a0 banned under Mozambique\u2019s post-independence Marxist regime,\u00a0 was reinstated after the first democratic multiparty elections in 1994. Ever since, it grows bigger every year. See the online reportage here<\/a> and the\u00a0 magazine here.<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
