Overall, we trained 100 journalists who went on to form a community of practice, and we observed changes in how they reported on young women in politics through their work. The research reports and media toolkits for Nigeria and Kenya supported capacity-building for media organisations and were accompanied by a call for commitment to their use and implementation. Under this project, we also built a vibrant community of women journalists and created meaningful alliances that will continue beyond the project’s lifespan.
