🌍 The Migration for Regional Integration Reporting Award Category.

Migration is more than movement across borders. It is a catalyst for regional integration, trade, economic cooperation, cultural exchange, and shared prosperity.

The Migration for Regional Integration Reporting Award recognises outstanding journalism that demonstrates how migration contributes to cross-border cooperation, social cohesion, economic development, and stronger regional connections across the #IGAD region.

Have you reported on migration, trade corridors, labour mobility, border communities, or regional integration?

Your story could be among the region's best.
