A capacity-building workshop, held for International Women’s Day 2026, equipping women journalists to report on environmental challenges.
On 11 March 2026, as part of International Women’s Day celebrations, WEMASA hosted the 1st Workshop for Young Girls and Women Environment Journalists in Dar es Salaam.
Women journalists had the opportunity to learn about and analyse environmental challenges — including the wide-ranging impacts of waste — and to explore how stronger reporting can drive public awareness and action. Discussions also addressed barriers to clean cooking energy for households.
The workshop received wide coverage from national television, newspapers and online outlets, including Nipashe, Tanzania Leo, Mtanzania Leo, Star TV, SMTV, Tanganyika Television and Watetezi TV.
Hands-on training for women vegetable farmers in Kisewe and Kiburugwa to prepare natural pesticides, plant boosters and fungicides from local plants.
