who we are
We're a collective of practitioners who've sat inside newsrooms, inside NGOs, inside government press offices and boardrooms, and know what it actually takes to get an organisation's story told well. We come together to support institutions and non-profits across the continent with the messaging, strategy, and hands-on production skills they need to be visible, credible, and understood — by the people who matter to their work.
No single agency can hold every skill a modern comms team needs. We can, because we're built from many.
Comms People of Africa is a network of practising communications experts helping NGOs and institutions across the continent tell their story well — through strategy, media, training, and hands-on production. One network, full range: from crisis response to the camera crew, from the comms plan to the person who can actually teach your intern how to use it.

our dna
Everyone in this network is still writing releases, running press conferences, editing footage — today.
Advice from someone who did the thing yesterday hits differently.
We understand the newsroom in Kampala, the donor report that lands in Geneva, the WhatsApp group where a crisis starts.
Our strategy is built for how communication really moves here, not adapted from a template built elsewhere.
Most outfits write you a strategy document, then hand you off to find a photographer. We will not.
The same network gives you the plan, the media relationships, the camera crew, and the livestream operator.
Every engagement leaves your team a little stronger — courses and mentorship built to stay.
We believe comms capacity should stay inside your organisation, not just inside ours.
