IFC IFC IFC Cover photos: Dominic Chavez / IFC WELCOME TO DAKAR AND THE 2019 SUSTAINABILITY EXCHANGE Dear Sustainability Exchange partners: On behalf of IFC, it is my great pleasure to personally welcome you to Senegal for the 2019 Sustainability Exchange. Since its inception over a decade ago, this event has built a noteworthy reputation, and with good reason. This unique confluence of arts, industry, science, technology, and public policy—all with the focus on sustainability—offers lasting intellectual connections and enduring relationships that benefit both industry and community. Against a backdrop of mounting investor interest and business opportunities in Africa, it is fitting that this year’s edition is hosted in Senegal, a nation that itself represents a convergence of cultures and markets. As we gather this year, global infrastructure markets are at an exciting crossroads. There is a renaissance of sorts underway, with sectors such as renewable energy and urban transport demonstrating strength and commercial viability.

    International Journal of Innovation, Creativity and Change. www.ijicc.net Volume 5, Issue 2, Special Edition, 2019 The Interface between Gender Mainstreaming and Information Communication Technology (ICT) in Selected African Countries *Shikha Vyas-Doorgapersada, Christelle J Auriacombeb, a,bSchool of Public Management, Governance and Public Policy, College of Business and Economics, University of Johannesburg, South Africa. *Corresponding Email: *a [email protected], [email protected] In Africa, e-government reform can be dated back to 1996 when the Information Society Initiative (AISA) was adopted at the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA). Thereafter, the Southern African Development Community (SADC) established an ICT task force that was mandated to evaluate the e-readiness of SADC member states (cf SADC, 2008) to use technology as an avenue for better collaboration between government and citizens. However, there are a number of obstacles to internet accessibility on the continent. This situation is particularly dire for women. The Mainstreaming Gender Equality (MGE) and Gendered/Technology as Culture approaches serve as theoretical underpinning. Both these research approaches are used as tools to identify gender gaps and to provide possible solutions to create equal opportunities for women in the ICT sector in Africa. The methodology is based on a desktop analysis, which entails a comprehensive literature study including official documents to conceptualise and contextualise the area of investigation. The methodological approach focuses on specific dimensions of unobtrusive research techniques, such as conceptual and document analysis. The findings explore whether incorporating gender mainstreaming and technology can be realised if African countries implement appropriate national ICT and gender policies.

  • Africa Prize Business Guides How to Communicate Effectively: from Media to Marketing
    Africa Prize business guides How to communicate effectively: from media to marketing Authors: AprilSix Proof, Proof Africa A guide to communication that gets your business what it needs Why communication is a necessity Communication is a part of every aspect of business. Whether updating stakeholders, writing a report for funders, approaching customers or talking to your own team, every interaction is a communication opportunity that could drive a business forward. Communicating effectively can help secure funding, gain new customers, or get the support needed to establish a pilot project. Yet, in spite of its clear benefits, communication is often considered an add-on activity for many businesses. Company tweets, Facebook posts or press releases are created last minute, people do media interviews or conference presentations without preparing their talking points, and employees operate without a common, overarching communications plan. This guide will help you build communication into your business culture and business plan, create consistent messaging, and only spend time and money on communication that purposefully grows your business. Understanding your audiences and objectives The most powerful communication is linked directly to business objectives. Each report, email or phone call, and every interaction at a conference or event should be anticipated and prepared for. Communication will only help drive business results when your core messages are based on your business goals, and used consistently in all your communication. Developing a communication strategy is a crucial first step for startups in ensuring that your communication efforts have purpose and stay on track. Every effective communication strategy should be made up of the six core components listed below: 1.
