In June 2006, ECafrique, the National Press Foundation (NPF) and Population Reference Bureau sponsored the first of a series of regional “Journalist to Journalist” workshops.  This event, conducted immediately prior to the 2nd African Conference on Sexual Health and Rights, provided participants with the skills and information needed to report fairly and accurately on reproductive health issues, especially those related to EC.  Twenty-two leading health reporters from Kenya, Ethiopia, Uganda, Tanzania, and Malawi were selected. Following the intensive 3-day training, journalists had a chance to apply their new skills during the conference under the guidance of top guest editors filing reports for home and contributing to the conference newsletter.  A similar activity for francophone journalists in West Africa is currently being planned.
