Code for Africa (CfA) is offering six Media Sentinel Fellowships to individuals with expertise in social media listening and analysis, with a good knowledge of social media cross-platform coordination and messaging in platforms such as WhatsApp, Telegram, Twitter and Facebook.
The part-time fellowships are part of the joint initiative between USAID and the CSM-STAND consortium member including PactWorld, CfA and Accountability Lab, implementing the project ‘Basiki ni Tagne Kunafoni’ in Mali to support the monitoring and analysis of the information environment in the country. Basiki ni Tagne Kunafoni’s primary objective is to support information integrity actors to increase resilience to manipulative information within the Malian information ecosystem.
The successful candidates will work with CfA’s iLAB forensic investigation team to provide information on creating early warning alerts on conflict within their communities. CfA’s iLAB team will train and mentor the Sentinels, to analyse data from an ongoing threat actor mapping developed by the partner organisations under the project.
Please complete this Media fellowship questionnaire so that we better understand your target audience reach across various social media platforms. Your personal identification information (PII) will not be shared with anyone outside of Code for Africa (CfA). We will only use your personal information to help communicate with you during the fellowship, or to provide ongoing support to you afterwards if you request mentoring.
This questionnaire will take you about 10 minutes to complete. We encourage you to be as candid as possible as this will guide our selection process.
By clicking submit, you give CfA the consent to process your information including PII information such as your social media accounts and phone number. This information will be solely used for the selection criteria of the Peace Sentinel Fellowship.
