ImpactHouse Centre for Development Communications, with registration number 162619 in Nigeria, is a tech-driven nonprofit using data and storytelling to drive uniform understanding of development messages, thus aiding government/citizen action for good governance, gender equity and justice, education and human rights, media and civil society development.

At ImpactHouse CfDC, we create effective content for distribution on both conventional and new media channels using storytelling, and research. We create radio jingles, viral video skits, and online news content that clearly drive uniform comprehension and acceptance of development messages.

Our Vision

To be the leading development communication organisation using the power of storytelling to bring about an Africa of informed and active citizens driving sustainable development.

Our Mission

Our mission is to promote informed and active citizens, mainstreaming data-driven news contextualised by relevant developmental information and support communications for development initiatives

Our Programme Areas

Citizens’ dissatisfaction and mistrust with governance delivery are growing in Africa, with the 2020 IIAG report recording -0.2 points for overall governance across the continent.
Deep-rooted social norms continue to expose women and girls to gender-based discrimination. For instance, available data shows that women own just 12% of agricultural land despite representing nearly half of Africa’s agricultural workforce.
Almost 60% of African youths between the ages of about 15 and 17 are not in school, data from UNESCO shows; while human rights violations continue to increase in Africa.

Our Approach

Using storytelling, we privilege local contexts, culture and rely on a mix of communication tools, channels and participatory approaches for uniform comprehension and acceptance of development messages.
