The aim of this project is to validate the IJAS’ idea of a specialized educational program for aspiring journalists in order to see if it could be financially viable. The project does not involve the implementation of the idea; rather it is focused on ways of testing its viability.
To that end, IJAS attends a series of capacity building workshops aimed at validating the idea. Also, IJAS is provided with a mentor to guide it through the process. The testing is to be done, as currently planned, using surveys and focus groups.
If the idea proves viable, IJAS will seek funding for its implementation.
