Strategic Pillars

Building the ecosystem of narrative changemakers: They have started working to identify narrative changemakers on the continent e.g. producers, writers, platform owners, advocacy groups.
Crowding in New Narratives: They support content creators (storytellers) and media platforms through their grantmaking.
Disruption: They are keen to position theirselves as an African narrative watchdog – a central source for tracking, recording, sharing learnings and data around examples of harmful narratives on the continent and attempts to disrupt it.
Research: Their research agenda is focused on making narrative and the work they do evidence-based, salient and relevant to the African conversations.
