The Science for Africa Foundation (SFA Foundation) is pleased to launch the second edition of the Africa Science Journalism Awards (ASJA). These prestigious awards celebrate excellence in health, science, and development reporting across Africa. By recognising and rewarding exceptional journalism, ASJA aims to amplify the visibility and impact of science coverage on the continent. This initiative, supported by the Gates Foundation, reflects the SFA Foundation's commitment to advancing science communication in Africa, with additional support from the World Federation of Science Journalists (WFSJ).
We are committed to improving the quality of lives of African people and to promoting the uptake of research in communities, industry and the public sector.
