The Washington Foreign Press Center hosted an intensive two-week reporting tour for five African investigative journalists specializing in anti-corruption reporting.  The program brought them to Washington, D.C., Philadelphia and New York for a series of meeting with U.S. government officials, media organizations and NGOs to examine the role that each plays in assuring greater transparency.
