WMS has been working in East Africa for the past ten years. Our vision is to accelerate the pace of positive change by improving communications and strategy for individuals, organizations and networks who can be forces for good in Africa. We help organisations harness the power of good communications to influence policy change, prepare for and anticipate crises, inform the national discourse, build will for social reforms, nudge entire communities towards new norms and identify and influence key individuals.
We have developed a proven methodology to help partners across sectors, from security to financial inclusion, from education and agriculture to health and governance, to develop strong and clear communication strategic plans.
Please look through our website for more information https://www.wellmadestrategy.com
We are looking for a curious and inspirational associate who is keen to learn new skills and share them with others. Applicants will be judged on their willingness and ability to learn rather than their particular knowledge of strategic communications. We are committed to investing time and money to train the ideal candidate.

/in News & Events/by Sarah FordeI’ve worked from home, quite happily, for the last ten years. But, now, this home is full of children home educating, and we’re juggling laptops, tablets, phones and earphones, live classes, Zoom calls, videos, assemblies and worksheet submissions.

Nudge, nudge, tweet, tweet
/in Strategic Communications/by EditorIn the week that US academic Richard H. Thaler wins the Nobel Prize for his work on behavioural economics, it’s worth thinking about what that means for us lesser mortals toiling on the coal face of learning, health, and happiness (the suffix to his 2008 book, Nudge, with Cass Sunstein).
