Management Consulting

Media Development Collective is devoted to the transformative power of stories. We recognize (digital) media's potential as a new frontier for knowledge transfer and attitude shaping. We believe in the power of collectives; "people working together to effect change." Media Development Collective is a new, collaborative consultancy and training organization focused on the media, civil society, and for-good sectors. We have years of hands-on experience in the media and international development sectors, and we have worked in over 30 countries around the world. We provide media training, coaching, and assistance with the implementation of media campaigns and programmes in journalism, media and related themes. We work in the traditional media development space as well as the media for development space. We foster good journalism and assist those who fill journalism's gaps in contexts where it is restricted. We create interactive trainings and work with partners to build behavior change campaigns. Our "media for" approach aims to mobilize civil society by training them in strategic communications - which help amplify their messages by using the right message, in the right channel, at the right time
