A comms guy who works all over Africa just picked up another degree. Prince Akpah, a development practitioner, graduated from GIMPA in Accra with a master's in Development Communication. He has been in that field for more than ten years and said he wanted the degree to get better at using communication to drive social change.
He mentioned the program helped him grasp advocacy, research, and how to work with different groups. He plans to use what he learned in his job with civil society groups across the continent. Right now, he works as a lead for a pan-African activist network called Africans Rising and runs content for a major Bitcoin conference. He also founded a PR firm that handles a bunch of well-known African youth awards and blogger events. For his final research project, he dug into how social media fueled a specific protest movement in Ghana.
Akpah said his whole thing is still about building up activist movements and pushing African development through smart communication. He got his first degree from a communications college a couple of years back.
