Congratulations to Blue Community Ambassador Fredrick Mugira!
Inside the cross-border network exposing the environmental crisis facing Africa’s longest river.
Founded in 2011, InfoNile has trained 250 journalists and supported over 400 data-driven stories across the 11 countries in the Nile Basin.
In 2017, inside a modest media nonprofit office in Kampala, Uganda, a collaboration between Ugandan journalist Fredrick Mugira and American journalist Annika McGinnis gave rise to InfoNile, one of Africa’s most ambitious environmental journalism initiatives.
What began as a project under Water Journalists Africa, a network Mugira had started in 2011, has since grown into a sprawling ecosystem of cross-border investigations, multimedia storytelling, and data-driven reporting stretching across the 11 countries covered by the Nile Basin.
