Our Story
Since its inception in 2017, ACW has evolved from an annual event into a year-round ecosystem of influence. What began as a forum for dialogue on Africa’s communications landscape has grown into a strategic advisory platform bridging industries, institutions, and perspectives. Today, ACW serves as a trusted space where African communicators engage directly with global institutions such as the OECD, UN, and African Development Bank—reinforcing Africa’s role in shaping international narratives.
At the intersection of strategic communications and international relations, ACW ensures that African voices are not just heard but recognized as essential to global decision-making. We facilitate high-level engagement, knowledge exchange, and collaboration, providing African professionals with the tools to drive lasting impact.
Our Mission
Through collaboration and expert insights, ACW provides a platform to amplify African voices in global discourse, fostering the exchange of ideas and building strategic partnerships that shape international narratives and diplomacy.
Our Vision
Be the leading global network where expert insights, strategic collaboration, and dynamic partnerships shape Africa’s global discourse. ACW ensures diverse perspectives are represented and integrated into diplomacy and international decision-making, driving meaningful influence worldwide.
