2022 Reham al-Farra Memorial Journalism Fellowship (RAF)

Mandated by the General Assembly since 1981, the RAF Fellowship provides an opportunity for exceptional young journalists from developing countries and economies in transition to gain a unique, in-depth exposure to the UN, its daily work and its people, through exclusive trainings, briefings and interviews with top UN officials, diplomats and more. RAF Fellows benefit from a more nuanced understanding of the UN and related issues, gain access to a diverse international network of journalists, and can expect a positive impact on their careers.

This year’s programme will be conducted entirely online in Sep 2022, during the opening session of UNGA 77. The programme invites applications from working journalists aged 22-35 from an eligible Member State, with a demonstrated passion for covering UN priority issues in the areas of peace and security, sustainable development, human rights, and climate action.

Deadline for applications: 30 April.
