A women-led
Future
We are a non-profit organisation that supports female journalists to transform how the profession covers the pressing issues of our time: climate change.
We are a non-profit organization that mentors, and supports female journalists, newsrooms and media organisations to champion impactful climate coverage that encourages action. We support journalists to transform how the profession covers the pressing issues of our time.
Our research approach
There is a dearth of practical research on climate reporting for journalists in Uganda, especially the kind of research that helps journalists and newsrooms, but also informs the work of climate media support organisations such as CWMA. To bridge this gap, CWMA has dedicated a range of resources to help journalists report well on the beat.
Workshops
We organize workshops where young female journalists learn about climate science, adaptation strategies, and effective communication. These sessions equip them with the tools to convey complex climate issues to diverse audiences.
Storytelling for change
Our journalists use their storytelling skills to highlight climate-related challenges, innovations, and community resilience. Through articles, podcasts, and multimedia content, they inspire action and raise awareness.
Building culture
We empower young, female journalists to reclaim their space in Climate discourse and drive change in their communities by enhancing their skills in climate change reporting, providing education materials and opportunities and mentorship.
The result
By prioritizing women’s representation in the media, we amplify their voices particularly in addressing climate change issues as they are disproportionately affected by the issue.

This framework is designed to safeguard, our environment and protect those on the frontlines of land and environmental justice.
When a new source of untapped wealth is discovered, communities become curious and eager to learn more. This is where journalists play a vital role.
