The Rural Electrification Authority (REA) conducts a Media Awards Programme each year for practising journalists from both public and private media institutions as well as free-lancers.
The programme seeks to encourage and celebrate sustained media commitment and support for REA’s efforts to increase access to electricity in rural areas in line with Government’s national development policies and plans. As part of the fundamental intent of the program, the awards also honour excellence for quality and investigative driven journalism in a country where rural areas are going through different development phases in line with Government’s socio-economic aspirations.
