Founder of Abjel Communications, Adisa Amanor-Wilks is among fifty Africa focused communications experts who share their vision for transformative change in Africa through strategic communications.

The Africa Communications Leadership Report 2018 features the expert opinion of professionals from different countries, institutions, sectors and disciplines, on the role of communications in the socio-economic development of the African continent.

Commenting on the report, co-founder Annie Mutamba said, “there are too many communication professionals working in isolation, trying to challenge the current narratives about Africa. Africa Communications Week and this report seek to build bridges, bringing communication professionals across the continent and in the diaspora together.”

Powered by a virtual international team of multi-talented communications professionals,  Africa Communications Week aims to convene leading communications professionals from various backgrounds across the world, to critically assess the role of communications in Africa’s socio-economic development.

“Africa focused communications professionals have a strategic role to play, in taking ownership of the African narrative and shaping the conversations, stories, and policies of their organisations, governments and culture,” says Eniola Harrison, co-founder ACW.

Narratives surrounding Africa have an impact on the socio-economic development of the continent, Africa focused communicators must therefore be strategic about shaping a narrative that is so vital to the transformation of the continent.
