UJK also strives to facilitate the use of media to advance policy initiatives with a purpose of promoting healthy public policies.
Our approach is work with journalists, partners to have a platform that can bring together the duty bearers and the electorate do discuss public interest matters.
Journalist’s must appreciate the use of digital tools and use of community reporters to keep up with community issues.
UJK is equally cognizant of the many challenges faced by journalists in the region and uses its networking to lobby for “small grants” and other forms of financial assistance to journalists who are finding themselves in difficult working environments; including in sickness, torture or even death in the line of duty.
