[wanabidii] KWA WAANDISHI WA HABARI

Dear all Here is some information about an opportunity for journalists in Africa. Please send any queries to b.ouma@future-agricultures.org and not to me, as this is all the information I have.   All the best Mike     Dear colleagues,   This might be of interest to those of you with connections to journalists working for print or audio media in Africa. It's on the topic of how political, social and other factors affect how African governments invest in agriculture. See email below.  The deadline is 8 Feb 2013. Main link: http://www.future-agricultures.org/media-comp-2013   The competition is only open to Africa-based journalists but we are looking to spread the word as widely as possible within that region.   About the competition The Future Agricultures Consortium (FAC) has launched a competition for journalists/media specialists on the political economy of agricultural policy in Africa. The competition will address three key themes: ·         Investing in agriculture: With agriculture the backbone of the African economy, why is it that African governments do not invest more in agriculture for the benefit of their economies? What are the political pressures leading African governments to increase investment in agricultural development? Do these favour smallholder agriculture or large-scale farming, food staples or export crops, state-led or private sector-led models, investment in public goods or transfers (such as subsidies)? ·         Influencing policy - the role of civil society: How can a civil society organisation have an influence on agricultural policy making? ·         BRICS investment in Africa: How are investments from China and Brazil and other 'rising powers' having an impact on African agriculture? And what impact will they have in the future? The entry deadline is 8 February 2013 and the winners will be supported to attend FAC's international conference on the  Political Economy of Agricultural Policy in Africa to be held March 18-20, 2013 in Pretoria, South Africa.   Help us bring this announcement to the attention of potential candidates by circulating it widely amongst your networks.   About the conference: The FAC 2013 international conference will focus on Political Economy of Agricultural Policy in Africa and is co-hosted by the Institute of Poverty, Land and Agrarian Studies (PLAAS). The conference organising committee include Colin Poulton, Blessings Chinsinga, Ian Scoones, Kassahun Berhanu, Augustin Loada  and Gaynor Paradza.   Media competition link: http://www.future-agricultures.org/media-comp-2013   Best Regards,   Beatrice Ouma Communications and Networking Coordinator M: +254 (0)703 700 732 | www.future-agricultures.org
