AMMAN — The embassy of the Netherlands in Jordan has granted Arab Reporters for Investigative Journalism (ARIJ) around $140,000 to run thematic workshops over the next two years to hone the skills of Arab journalists investigating oil extractives, political groups and human rights.

The grant agreement was signed at the embassy on Sunday, an ARIJ statement said.

ARIJ was set up in Amman in 2005 to promote investigative journalism among journalists in the region. It has trained over 1,600 journalists at 115 workshops and has helped 300 journalists produce investigations on issues of interest to the public.
