The Inquirer Award aims to find journalists who can demonstrate their ability to examine, in depth, a significant issue that is relevant to the region and its people
The Bangladesh Inquirer has helped to push public finance and corruption issues up the Bangladeshi news agenda
Since 2003, our Inquirer Awards have championed investigative journalism in the Middle East and, more recently, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and the Maldives. The awards encourage journalists to dig deeper into life in the region to reveal stories that would otherwise go untold. All entrants are supported via investigative reporting workshops, while winners are rewarded with a fact-finding trip to London to visit British media organisations and government institutions.

"Good journalism plays an important part in shining a light on public finances, helping to improve public accountability and deny the secrecy required for corrupt practices"
