CKLE helps NGOs, public institutions and companies across West Africa build communication strategies that serve their real objectives: mobilising funding, influencing policy, engaging communities. We work in French and English, from Cotonou, with deep knowledge of the region's civil society and development ecosystems.
From communication audits to strategic plans, media relations to press release writing and distribution, through to crisis management support: we step in wherever your organisation's voice is at stake. Our conviction — built through collaborations with development actors across the continent — is that strategic communication starts long before publication, in clarifying what your organisation wants to say and to whom.
What this covers
