The Namibian Broadcasting Corporation's (NBC) programme on current affairs, Namibia Connects, has scooped a Gold Media Award in the media category for its outstanding coverage and advocacy on the work of the Namibia Blood Transfusion Services.

The One Economy Foundation held its annual Media Awards yesterday in the capital.

The awards recognise journalists and media practitioners whose reporting focuses on issues such as gender-based violence, femicide, sexual and reproductive rights, mental health, and child protection.

In celebration of journalistic excellence, several dedicated reporters were honoured this past weekend for their outstanding work in shedding light on the critical issues of gender-based violence, femicide, and sexual and reproductive health and rights.
