The fellowship will run from September 2026 to July 2027 and is open to applicants from the Philippines and Malaysia.

The project welcomes applications from journalists, media workers, human rights defenders, civil society leaders, activists, researchers, academics, digital advocates, and community leaders.

The fellowship will include virtual learning sessions, advanced training, mentorship, Training of Trainers, peer learning, and regional networking.
