Some of the published stories were featured on the Solutions Journalism Network's Solutions Story Tracker®, an international database that curates solutions journalism stories published all over the world.Ī further 10 newsrooms that have nominated three journalists will shortly begin the onboarding process for the second cohort of the Solutions Journalism Africa Initiative, starting in March 2022. The stories they produced were published on the platforms of the various newsrooms. Following their training, the journalists received support and mentorship from the Nigeria Health Watch team, supporting them to investigate responses to various social challenges across Nigeria.

The selected journalists from NAN were joined by three journalists from each of the other nine newsrooms from across Nigeria, taking part in the first cohort of the Solutions Journalism Africa Initiative. Three journalists from NAN participated in the first cohort of the eight months training of newsrooms, that started in April 2021. The Managing Director of the agency, Mr Buki Ponle made the declaration while receiving the Nigeria Health Watch team led by the Managing Director, Mrs Vivianne Ihekweazu. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) has committed to setting up a dedicated Solutions Journalism desk in the organisation that will focus on reporting on efforts that are addressing various social challenges across Nigeria.
