Nigeria: Call for Pitches - People-Centred Investigative Reporting On Peace and Public Safety
[CJID] The Centre for Journalism Innovation and Development (CJID) invites journalists and investigative reporters to submit pitches for in-depth, original, underreported investigative and solutions-focused stories that explore people-centred approaches to public safety, conflict prevention and accountability.
The Centre for Journalism Innovation and Development (CJID) is calling for investigative and solutions-focused story pitches centered on people-centred approaches to public safety, conflict prevention, and accountability in Nigeria. The organization emphasizes reframing safety around communities directly impacted by armed conflict, civil strife, state violence, and militarization.
The call invites journalists based in Nigeria or reporting on the country to submit proposals exploring themes such as community-driven violence prevention, dispute resolution, trust rebuilding, and keeping people safe. CJID prioritizes pitches that are original, have public interest value, feasible, and safe to execute, with depth of investigation, use of data, potential for impact or reform, and commitment to human rights and accountability principles.
The deadline for submitting pitches is September 11, 2026. Only shortlisted applicants will be contacted.
