Cameroon is presently going through a period of political instability with the February strick action that put the country on a stand still for one week,the recent constitutional ammendment and the operation sparrow hawk.I think it will be very important if journalists from Cameroon could be given the opportunity to attend.

I am freelance reporter based in Harare, Zimbabwe. I think the scholarship should have catered for all countries especially young journalists from Zimbabwe because the country is grabbing headlines worldwide because of the harmonised Presidential elections it held on March 29 and which have produced no outright winner. The elections are heading for a run-off. We would really appreciate it if we are afforded a chance to attend and share with other young writers from across the globe our experiences regarding to this election and other issues.

Thanks for giving journalist such an opportunity because previous courses of such nature were self sponsored. But I am suggeting to add the age limit so that we could benefit. Lets say the age limit should be below 35. This is because when we were at the age of 25 we didn't get such opportunity. equal opportunity
