From Togo to Benin: Reporting on energy in the dark
Access to Energy Journalism fellow Kossi Balao explains what it’s like to report in a place where having a full phone battery and charged computer isn’t guaranteed.
The Access to Energy Journalism Fellowship (AEJF) is a fellowship opportunity aimed at enabling deep, critical reporting on energy poverty globally. This year, we selected four reporters that tell stories that are deeply rooted in people’s lived experiences in sub-Saharan Africa. These stories shed light on how different countries in the region are grappling with energy issues in a time of climate change, and what that might mean for the future.
