ILO Angola launches the National Journalism Prize in Social Protection

With funding from the European Union, the International Labour Organization (ILO) launches the First Edition of the National Journalism Prize in Social Protection, on April 24, at 9 am, in the auditorium of the Journalist Training Center (CEFOJOR), in Luanda.

The initiative has the partnership of CEFOJOR and the Association of Angolan Communicologists (ACAN) and is carried out within the scope of the Project "Expansion of Social Security to Support the Formalization of the Angolan Economy", implemented by the ILO in Angola and funded by the European Union.

The Award aims to recognize and encourage the practice of journalism related to the area of Social Protection in Angola, aiming to promote a greater knowledge of Angolans about the system and benefits of Social Protection and encourage greater participation of citizens in the Social Protection system.

Taking into account the relevance that the aforementioned Award will have with the media, the different institutions involved and, mainly, Angolan families, the initiative will be held annually.

The Award will distinguish journalistic works (news and reports) that address matters on Social Protection, both contributory and non-contributory, produced by journalists who practice professional journalism in Angola.
