The Africa Climate and Environment (ACE) initiative, led by the Pulitzer Center, is accepting applications for the second cohort of its Microgrants program. This opportunity supports outreach projects focused on transparency and governance in forest and ocean sectors. The program aims to fund projects that creatively integrate one or more Pulitzer Center-supported stories while targeting young professionals or local communities.

The initiative focuses on issues such as natural resource management, harmful corporate practices, corruption, and their impacts on biodiversity, Indigenous peoples, human rights, and climate. It seeks to strengthen public awareness and advocacy through storytelling, with an emphasis on accountability and sustainable environmental governance.
