Déo Namujimbo, Global Integrity’s reporter in the Democratic Republic of Congo, recently received top prize in the French Plume d’Or awards.
This competition recognizes the work of Francophone journalists around the world, especially honoring those who work in extreme and dangerous situations. Congratulations to Déo, his six fellow Congolese recipients and the rest of the international reporters recognized by this award.
Déo’s Reporter’s Notebook, detailing the shocking openness with which bribery is conducted in the D.R. Congo’s customs sector, was released last week as part of the Global Integrity Report: 2008.
