CMFD Productions is a communications and media consultancy working across Africa to support organisations to communicate with clarity, purpose and impact.
We combine strategy, storytelling and high-quality content to help organisations engage audiences, strengthen understanding and support social change. Our work spans strategic communications, campaigns, publications, training, audio and visual storytelling – connecting knowledge, advocacy and lived realities in ways that people can understand and act on.
Our approach
At the centre of our work is a simple belief: communication is most effective when it connects with people. Whether developing a communications strategy, producing a radio drama, creating a publication or supporting media training, our work is grounded in real-world contexts and audience realities. We work collaboratively with NGOs, civil society, international agencies, media and communities — designing communication approaches that are practical, adaptable and aligned to programme goals.
We support organisations to:
- build awareness and understanding
- strengthen advocacy and engagement
- influence public and policy conversations
- connect research, evidence and lived realities
- develop communication approaches that are clear, audience-focused and actionable
