>The International Centre for Human Rights and Democratic
>Development (ICHRDD) offers grants to journalists "who wish to
>learn about the role of the press as a watch-dog in a democratic
>society." The award, which is open to print or electronic
>journalists, also aims "to promote dialogue about how the media
>can help make the authorities accountable to the people for their
>decisions and policies." Four grants will be awarded to enable
>recipients to come to Canada for three weeks in November.
>Candidates must be professional journalists who work for
>independent print or electronic media organizations and have
>considerable experience in the political, social or economic
>field. Fluency in French or English, a good sense of professional
>ethics and sensitivity to human rights issues are also required.
>
>To apply for a grant, send a resume and five examples of recently
>published or broadcast work, with a 500-word essay on why one
>should be selected. Preference will be given to nominees from
>ICHRDD's core countries of Eritrea, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania,
>Togo, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Mexico, Peru, Burma,
