At Define Africa, we bring together a multidisciplinary team of experts who thrive at the intersection of technology, data, and inclusive development. Our portfolio spans national and regional programs, donor-funded initiatives, and private sector collaborations — all unified by our commitment to adaptive solutions, evidence-informed programming, and human-centered innovation.

Our track record speaks for itself — combining sectoral depth, technical excellence, and lasting partnerships across Africa and beyond.
Strategic Storytelling and Impact Communication
We turn data into compelling narratives. Our Communication and Storytelling for Impact team helps organizations distill complex insights into clear, powerful messages. Whether through data visualization, participatory storytelling, or human-centered reporting, we ensure evidence drives advocacy, donor engagement, and community accountability.
Sectoral Expertise You Can Trust
We offer a strong bench of subject matter experts with practical field experience and policy-level influence in:
- Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI)
