The Africa-China Centre for Policy and Advisory (ACCPA) has launched the Ghana-China Media Fellowship 2025, a pioneering initiative that brings together fifteen seasoned journalists from across Ghana’s media landscape to explore and report more effectively on Ghana-China relations.
The first session, held on June 14 at ACCPA’s North Legon headquarters, marks the beginning of a twelve-week immersive program combining lectures, language instruction, and industry engagement.
Paul Frimpong, ACCPA’s Executive Director and lead facilitator, described the launch as “a bold step towards a more informed media ecosystem.” He added, “We want to nurture journalists who can critically analyze and tell the Africa-China story with substance and clarity.”
According to Sylvia Sinkari, the fellowship is timely and strategic: “As China’s influence grows, journalists must be equipped with the right tools to interpret, question, and contextualize its role in Africa’s development.”
Participants have already expressed their appreciation. Sandra Ampofoa Ofosu of Metro TV reflected, “It was a remarkable start. My thanks to ACCPA for creating this platform. I see this fellowship as a launchpad for bigger opportunities.”

The fellowship will continue over the next twelve weeks, advancing knowledge-sharing and cross-cultural understanding between Ghana and China through the lens of media.
