Strong accountability depends on journalists having the tools to follow the money. Our Coalition Partner @WFD_Democracy office in Nigeria, together with @ibpnigeria, is inviting applications for the Debt Accountability Investigative Journalism Fellowship. The fellowship will support Nigerian journalists to strengthen their understanding of public debt, government borrowing and fiscal accountability, and investigate how the decisions made around public finances ultimately affect public services and citizens. The opportunity is open to practicing journalists with experience covering public finance issues, including budgets, revenue, public expenditure, procurement, fiscal transparency or accountability. Previous experience reporting specifically on public debt is not required. Applications are open until 13 November 2026, with the fellowship workshop taking place 18–19 November 2026. For journalists interested in using investigative reporting to make complex financial decisions more visible and strengthen public accountability, this is an opportunity worth exploring.
