About Development Diaries
We are Africa’s evidence-based public-interest news platform. We identify who should act on public issues, what evidence exists, and what citizens can demand to drive government action.
Founded by ImpactHouse Centre for Development Communication and governed by third-sector leaders, media professionals and publishers since 2013, we promote awareness and understanding of social, economic, and political issues across the continent, galvanising public opinion and prompting attention and action towards sustainable development.
