Four African journalists will partner throw this collaboration and one of them, with strong ties will have to lead international news organizations (currently under recruitment) who will serve as project leader. Together they will produce a body of reporting focused on reproductive health that will be distributed in African and international outlets.

They will start by a travel to Dakar, Senegal to attend the International Conference on Family Planning. Scheduled from November 28 to December 3, 2011.
