company Background

Dev Afrika Focus traces its roots back to the convergence of two distinct companies, each with its own unique focus and expertise. The first company specialised in communicating research output, offering various services to facilitate academic engagement and knowledge dissemination. From facilitating academic tutorial sessions for postgraduate students to providing editorial services for research reports and books, this company was pivotal in supporting institutions, universities, and researchers in effectively communicating their findings.


Simultaneously, another company focused on economic development and capacity building, delivering programs to empower individuals and organisations to drive positive change in their communities. This company equipped individuals with the skills and knowledge needed to navigate complex socio-economic challenges from leadership planning and succession seminars to community education training and development facilitation.
