The SIWI Journalist Grant is a support that is intended for professionally active journalists in countries included in the World Bank’s list of low- and lower middle-income countries. As these countries are likely to be the most affected by today’s and future water challenges, residents and decision-makers need good journalism to understand what is at stake. What can be done to tackle water scarcity? Why is safe sanitation so important for health? How is climate change affecting farmers? During World Water Week questions like these are tackled by the world’s leading experts and followed by media all over the world. We hope to see you in Stockholm!
