Working session with Arab Reporters for Investigative Journalism

21 November 2024

Transparency and accountability are key principles for environmental assessments, and journalists play a key role in supporting these principles. Environmental assessment reports can also be a relevant source of data and information that journalists can use in their daily work.

With this in mind, Arab Reporters for Investigative Journalism (ARIJ) and the NCEA organised a working session on 19 November with journalists in the MENA region to introduce ESIA and to discuss the opportunities this tool provides in their investigations. The NCEA and ARIJ intend to continue their collaboration on advancing awareness and capacities on ESIA among journalists.
