Thank you CJID and the facilitators who took us on an insightful and impactful two-day ride. I learned a lot about Climate Change Reporting. I can now report climate change issues from a place of knowledge leveraging all that I have learned in the course of the workshop.CJID

Your report on advancing political accountability through investigative journalism, the very high number of unique page views (10 million) and social media views (42 million) are indications of the popularity of your work. Your contributions to the outcome of the 2015 elections, internet privacy, investigative journalism, data journalism are commendable. Bringing attention to the flight of IDPs and corruption in the security sector has been helpful.
