Journalism Awards

The Developing Asia Journalism Awards (DAJA) were established in 2004 to build capacity among journalists working on key development issues. The annual awards honor the work and contributions of journalists actively engaged in the responsible dissemination of knowledge related to poverty reduction, and other areas that support long-term growth in Asia and the Pacific.

In 2008, the DAJA program began including a short training course to provide DAJA finalists an opportunity to discuss and debate key development issues and their impacts with their colleagues and leading experts.
