Welcoming note

Welcome to Going Green, the blog by an Environmental Journalist, Felix Mwakyembe

I am a journalist based in Mbeya City, in the Southern Highlands of Tanzania. I work for a weekly Swahili paper, Raia Mwema and sometimes write for Reuters AlertNet on climate change related issues.

My areas of interest are environment, agriculture and extractive industries, where I have written many articles.

From Monday 23^rd to 25^th March, 2015 will be attending Investigative Internet Journalism Training at the Open University, Mbeya Campus. The training is organized by MISA-Tan.

In 2010 I attended the UN Climate Change conference in Cancun as COP16 as CCMP fellow and September, 2014 I attended launching of the IPCC 5^th Report in Pretoria.

I find the training to be relevant to my work and expect to acquire skills in searching for information using the internet that will able me write well researched stories.
