The Media Challenge Initiative (MCI) is dedicated to fixing the media crisis in Africa by building the next generation of journalists, content creators, and story leaders. Since 2016, MCI has evolved through various programs including an academy to skill young journalists, a fellowship program, and a media incubator hub. In 2023, they launched the MCI SDGs Media Van to bring journalism to hard-to-reach communities, and in 2024, they are expanding their mission continent-wide.
