We want to ensure innovators from both rural and urban areas get access to this program and for this reason, this year\u2019s cohort will include a<strong>\u00a0special track for rural innovators.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We want to support\u00a0<strong>innovators working on ideas that promote journalism\u00a0<\/strong><strong>in rural communities\u00a0<\/strong>in Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya. Specifically, we are looking for media solutions that improve access to information, public dialogue and participation for rural communities considering the great linguistic diversity, potentially low connectivity, limited access to professional news media and low literacy rates. Innovators working outside cities such as Nairobi, Dar es Salaam and Kampala are highly encouraged to apply.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Urban-based innovators are also highly encouraged to apply\u00a0<\/strong>as we also have slots for them.
