Making Media Work for Africa

Africa Media Lab is an initiative of the Centre for Media Development and Sustainability. We work with African broadcasters, media professionals and international partners to strengthen trusted, sustainable and locally relevant media.

What We Do

  • Train and support African journalists, producers and media organizations
  • Connect broadcasters with funders, advertisers, sponsors and international partners
  • Produce compelling public-interest and business programming

Why it Matters

Strong, independent and financially sustainable media are essential to informed communities, accountable institutions and economic growth. Africa Media Lab helps local media organizations develop the skills, programming, partnerships and revenue opportunities they need to serve their audiences and build lasting institutions.

Partner with Us

We welcome partnerships with foundations, development organizations, governments, businesses, broadcasters and technology companies that share our commitment to stronger African media. Support can fund original programming, professional training, audience research, digital innovation and distribution across multiple countries.
