Call for Application: Media Training Workshop on Business and Human Rights Reporting in Nigeria 2019

The National Roundtable on Business and Human Rights is pleased to call for applications from media personnel for a training on “Business and Human Rights Reporting in Nigeria”.

 The training is aimed at facilitating increased and informed media coverage of the intricacies of business and human rights and in particular, the application of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights in Nigeria.

Given the growing imperative to strengthen the legal and regulatory framework to mainstream human rights and good governance in the rapidly expanding business clime of Nigeria, as well as the recent overtures by the Federal Government to increase the ease of doing business in Nigeria; it has become essential to engage all critical stakeholders in business sector governance on related human rights issues, and to strengthen  rallying platforms to advance national and transnational dialogues in this regard.

The training will also pay special attention to skillsets required to investigate and accurately report cases of human rights infringements that occur as a result of business operations in the various economic sectors, with the overarching aim of facilitating participants’ ability to constructively engage on issues vital to consumers and communities, both at the state and national levels.

 The training is scheduled to hold as follows:

April 2019

Location: Abuja

Applicant journalist must:
• Work with a reputable media organization with a good track record of credible reportage

　　Since 2017, sub-Saharan Africa has been recovering synchronously with the global economic tide, but this year's recovery in the region has encountered multiple obstacles, and the growth performance and development prospects of various economies have also become polarized. 　　International agencies lower growth forecast for this year 　　The International Monetary Fund (IMF) recently released the latest issue of "Economic Outlook for Sub-Saharan Africa" ​​report, which reduced the economic growth forecast for this region to 3.2% in 2019, which is the same as the growth rate in 2018, which is higher than the IMF's April this year.
