Our outlook is to democratize access to technical knowledge required by our stakeholders, empower the fourth estate of the realm to open news deserts, develop cutting edge civic tech to galvanize citizen engagement and Increase digital inclusion and participation in the digital economy by marginalised groups. We pursue core programs that are splayed across key tracks, including high-impact investigative journalism; innovation & modernization in digital journalism, and growing civic media participation to culminate in a progressive, awakened “giant of Africa” where development is pursued aggressively by an accountable, citizen-focused government.
