Connecting those who do with those who need to.

Welcome to the future home of Understand Africa, a platform connecting international researchers, investors, policymakers and educators quickly and easily with Africa's most trusted journalists, experts, scholars and thought leaders.

Do you need accurate information on Africa's countries, markets, business or policy? Understand Africa will make it easy to access credible, verified information, data, insights and analysis, providing curated expert intelligence designed to remove information barriers.

ABOUT US: A Cross-Continental Collaboration

Founded by an American and built with a pan-African team, Understand Africa was created based on the founder's lived experience navigating gaps in her own education and information journey. 

Our work is guided by the following core principles:
 
1. Humility centering African voices, perspectives and experiences
2. Respect for history, culture and context
3. Mindful of history and its influence on current perceptions
4. World-class experience for partners and users
5. Responsiveness to the needs of a fast-changing world
 
 
OUR MISSION: Amplifying Africa's Trusted Voices

Empower more well-informed decisions that positively impact Africa's progress by connecting the continent's most trusted voices to global audiences.

OUR GOAL: Be the leading platform for African Research, Insights and Expertise

To be the world's go-to resource for those seeking to learn or stay informed about Africa and its 54 countries and for those researchers, analysts, journalists and thought leaders working to produce and share credible, verified information, news and analysis in service to Africa's progress.
 
 

WHY THIS MATTERS

Easy access to curated, credible Africa data and analysis is limited, yet essential for responsible, well-informed investment, strategic planning and policy decisions. At the same time, many of Africa's most knowledgable experts lack sufficient visibility on global platforms.

Understand Africa bridges this gap- supporting both those seeking timely, credible information and those producing it-in service to the continent, which grows in planetary importance daily.

While we build, we will use LinkedIn to advance our mission by amplifying trusted voices and the information, news and insights they put forth.
