UN Journalism Fellowship 2027 in Qatar

The UN Journalism Fellowship 2027 is a fully funded initiative organized by the United Nations Office of the High Representative for the Least Developed Countries, Landlocked Developing Countries and Small Island Developing States (UN-OHRLLS). Designed for mid-career and professional journalists from 44 Least Developed Countries (LDCs), the program selects ten journalists to cover the Midterm Review of the Doha Programme of Action (DPoA) taking place in Doha, Qatar, from March 25 to 27, 2027. Selected fellows will participate in specialized pre-conference orientations, briefings, and networking opportunities with international development leaders. Throughout the program, participants will report on vital issues affecting LDCs, including poverty alleviation, climate change, healthcare, trade, and economic progress, bridging international policy discussions with local realities in their home nations. Financial coverage provided by the United Nations includes round-trip economy airfare to Qatar and a daily subsistence allowance for lodging and meals according to UN standards. Participating journalists must publish three major story outputs before, during, and after the Midterm Review and share their publication links by late April 2027.
