African Centre For Development Reporting

African Centre For Development Reporting is a non-profit organization or foundation based in Ghana that specializes in providing training and education services related to HIV/AIDS awareness, accurate reporting, and anti-stigma campaigns. Their work focuses on training journalists and media practitioners to improve reporting on HIV/AIDS issues and promote the UNAIDS 95-95-95 goals for achieving epidemic control by 2030.

Over the past few years, African Centre For Development Reporting has received multiple federal grant awards from the Department of State Bureau of African Affairs to carry out projects in Ghana. These grants have primarily funded training programs for selected journalists in regions like Western, Western North, and Ahafo to enhance fact-based reporting on HIV and combat HIV stigma. The training covers topics such as accurate HIV reportage, using new media for public education, achieving the 95-95-95 goals, and organizing anti-stigma campaigns. Additionally, some grants have supported mentoring and critiquing of trainees' reporting, as well as field activities to educate the masses about HIV/AIDS and COVID-19 stigma. The grant amounts have ranged from $15,000 to $60,000, with typical durations spanning several months to a year. African Centre For Development Reporting has been consistently awarded these grants by the Department of State Bureau of African Affairs since 2019, reflecting their expertise and track record in delivering HIV/AIDS-related training and awareness programs in Ghana.
