Thank you for your interest in pitching a story.
For nearly two decades, Nigeria Health Watch has played a pivotal role in shaping health discourse in Nigeria and across Africa by providing a platform for informed commentary, advocacy, health information dissemination, and policy engagement.
As part of our broader advocacy efforts, we collaborate with journalists across the continent through our Collaborative Journalism initiative to produce in-depth, evidence-based stories that examine what is working and what is not within health systems across Africa.
This approach brings together journalists, media organisations, and cross-country perspectives with the aim of generating actionable insights and shared learning that contribute to improved health outcomes. Stories developed through this initiative are co-created and co-published across participating media platforms, enabling wider reach, deeper impact, and stronger public discourse on critical health issues.
We are seeking compelling, evidence-based story ideas from journalists across Africa that explore key public health, policy, and governance challenges affecting communities on the continent. The stories must be within any one or more of the following thematic areas:
• Maternal, Neonatal and Child Health
• Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights
• Nutrition • Universal Health Coverage
• Routine Immunisation/Polio
• Water, Sanitation and Hygiene
• Primary Health Care
• Health Systems Strengthening
Selected journalists will receive editorial guidance and funding support to develop their stories.
