Speaking at the signing in Abu Dhabi in March, TRF's Director of Journalism Training Programmes Jo Weir said the foundation was committed to investing in the region and was delighted to be working with its partners to help train young journalists to cover local, regional and international news for their audiences.
She said that during 2009 TRF had delivered 28 courses in the region, including an election reporting course in Cairo, and was "extremely proud" to be one of the founding partners of the twofour54 tadreeb academy.
