The fellowship, overseen by the Pulitzer Center in collaboration with Internews, is designed to help journalists from the developing world do the kind of reporting they've always wanted to do and enable them to bring their work to a broader international audience. The fellowship will benefit those with limited access to other fellowships and those whose work is not routinely disseminated internationally.
See the announcement of the fellowship at the Internews ceremony in honor of Persephone in October 2010, as well as the work of the 2014 fellow Ana P. Santos, the 2013 fellow, Ameto Akpe, the 2012 fellow, Anna Nemtsova, and the three 2011 fellows.
The 2015 fellows are Yam Kumari Kandel and Shilu Manandhar from Nepal and Mary Wairimu Michengi from Kenya, all three journalists with the Global Press Journal. See the announcement here. Reporting is in progress. See Michengi's reporting here.
