The Minister for Information, Honourable Fatimatu Abubakar, together with the Working Committee, has jointly launched the third cohort of the Media Capacity Enhancement Programme (MCEP), aimed at addressing the media's capacity challenges in Ghana. Held at the Ministry of Information's Press Centre on Thursday, August 22, 2024, the launch emphasized the importance of equipping journalists with the skills and knowledge necessary to effectively fulfil their role as the fourth estate in Ghana's governance system. The minister stated that the Media Capacity Enhancement Programme was in line with one of the Ministry of Information's key strategic objectives to improve civil society's participation in our national development. "By addressing the media's capacity challenges, we are empowering journalists to play their role effectively in our democracy," she said. Reflecting on the success of previous cohorts, the Minister for Information mentioned that 100 media personnel across the nation have already benefited from the programme. The maiden edition, held in Kumasi in January 2022, trained 58 journalists, while the second cohort, held in December 2023 at the University of Media, Arts and Communications (UNIMAC) in Accra, saw 42 participants engage in nine essential journalism modules.
