Insights

Having worked extensively with private, government and public sector organizations in Africa, we have gathered significant insight and understanding of the African markets. This intellectual property helps us to build an accurate picture of how the African story is unfolding: from the challenges faced by African entrepreneurs, the impact of COVID-19 on media consumption, to the complex relationships between citizen, government, and multinational organizations.

Djembe Insights provides us with a platform to share these insights so that all stakeholders invested in Africa’s future can benefit from the knowledge and intelligence that we have of this extraordinary continent.

We are always keen to collaborate with organizations or individuals to increase the breadth and depth of our research in Africa.

Djembe Insights Report on news consumption amidst COVID-19

We wanted to explore how the coverage of an event that has changed the course of history and affected the entire world’s human population, continues to impact how people consume news, how they interact with each other on social media platforms and how they feel about what they are being told from traditional sources. The changes in attitude towards and consumption of news during the age of COVID-19 has profound implications for how organizations engage with key stakeholders within the context of the new norm.
