InfoNile
InfoNile is a cross-border group of geojournalists with a mission to uncover critical stories on water issues in the Nile River Basin through data-based multimedia storytelling. They seek to bridge the gap between scientists and researchers, journalists and the public, in order to increase mutual awareness of water issues. They provide story grants, training and mentorship to journalists across the Nile Basin to help them conduct in-depth stories on issues of water, environment, biodiversity and climate change. They highlight stories of solutions that are working to solve issues such as climate change and wildlife trafficking in local communities.

The mainstream narrative forgets to showcase how climate change is impacting women around the world. We don’t need just a green recovery, but a gendered one. This project engages with women worldwide from environmental activists to filmmakers and the films will ask, what does climate change mean to you as a woman? Through her eyes will take the viewer through a journey of women’s experiences using a collaborative filmmaking methodology.
