UNDP and UNESCO are jointly launching the “IATI Research Challenge for Journalists” – a research and writing competition for journalists around the world aged between 15 and 25. Christophe Deloire, Secretary-General of Reporters Without Borders (RSF) has kindly agreed to be the patron of the competition.
The competition opens on the International Day for the Universal Access to Information (IDUAI) as one of a range of activities marking 10 years since the launch of the International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI).
Investigate how a country of your choice is progressing towards meeting the Sustainable Development Goals and explore how funds for development are being utilized, using IATI data for your research and analysis to answer the following question:
‘How are aid and other external resources being used to achieve sustainable development’ – based on data published to the International Aid Transparency Initiative.
Use the IATI search platform d-portal to investigate which sectors and regions are benefiting from development or humanitarian funding in a specific country and how this relates to national action plans and public narratives. Develop your story from IATI data, use additional sources to cross-check, find further information and use your journalistic skills to draft an essay that will impress the judges.
