The African Women’s Media Center, a project of the International Women’s Media Foundation, was founded in 1997.
The AWMC has created a wide range of programs for women journalists throughout Africa with the goal of bringing the voices of African women more prominently into the media — as reporters, producers, managers, executives, CEOs and media experts. The AWMC offers a wide range of programs for women journalists throughout Africa and provides women journalists with the opportunity to network throughout the continent.
The AWMC offers training workshops on topics such as leadership development, media management, computer training in new media technologies, journalism ethics, specialized journalism skills, balancing work and family, coalition building and more.
