"Over the past five years, IWMF sent 171 grantees and 85 recipients of year-long fellowships for local journalists to report stories from different countries throughout Latin America [as part of the Adelante reporting initiative.]
The program ended this past February.
IWMF Executive Director Elisa Lees Muñoz said in an impact report that Adelante’s goal was two-fold: to give journalists a unique opportunity to safely cover underreported stories in a complex region and to create a squad of women with in-depth expertise on Latin America."
