About IACC Young Journalists Programme

Transparency International invite young journalists from all over the world who are passionate about fighting corruption to apply for the 2026 programme. There is 10 places available for journalists in the early stages of their professional career to join us at the International Anti-Corruption Conference in the Dominican Republic from 1-4 December 2026.

As part of a mentored programme participants will have the chance to join the conference discussions, interview leaders and activists and build their knowledge of the latest trends in the anti-corruption space.

The International Anti-Corruption Conference is the world’s premier forum for bringing together government, civil society, the private sector and more to tackle the increasingly sophisticated challenges posed by corruption. It fosters the global exchange of experience and ideas in fighting corruption and promotes cooperation among agencies and citizens from all parts of the world.  It is held every two years in a different region of the world.
