Winners and Finalists

Business for Africa - Riches at the Bottom of the Pyramid: "For years, large national and multinational companies have overlooked BOP markets because they fail to see how people making less than $2 per day can afford a $100 television, a $50 cellular phone, or even a $4 pack of cigarettes. Rather than viewing the $2-a-day threshold as a barrier, companies must find ways to innovate around it, and create the capacity for those earning so little to consume the firm?s products. Selling cell-phone minutes for as little as $0.03, or shampoo for $0.01 gets around the barrier. So too does selling cigarettes singly, an element of the informal economy across Africa."

IWMF Programs, IWMF Public Health Fellowship: "The IWMF Public Health Fellowship program offers women newspaper editors and radio producers who cover public health issues in eligible countries the opportunity to receive on-the-job training with top media companies in the United States. The fellowship also requires that a fellow conduct a public health journalism project in her home country.

Two fellows will be selected in 2005 for fellowships that begin in August 2005 and end in January 2006."
