An ACME internship offers exciting benefits. Interns will:

• Sharpen their writing, communication and organisational skills.
• Establish a network of contacts from the worlds of journalism, public policy, academe, and civil society.
• Expand their knowledge by sitting in on the numerous ACME trainings conducted by expert trainers and guest speakers, and through taking full advantage of our growing library.

International interns shall be bound by the terms and conditions as well as enjoy the benefits set out here. They will, however, have to meet the costs of a return air ticket, accommodation, and meals other than lunch while doing ACME work. They will also meet other costs associated with their ordinary stay in Uganda.
