Africa Renewal is a United Nations online magazine covering economic, social and political developments in Africa. We cover the demanding situations facing the continent and the responses that Africans themselves will provide to them, joining those of the United Nations and the foreign community.
Through the Africa Renewal virtual magazine and social media platforms, webinars with youth groups, media relations, and other outreach and partnership efforts, we provide a new narrative about Africa that shows positive action and hope, while questioning predominantly negative stereotypical portrayals of Africa.
We promote Africa’s Sustainable Development Goals, the Paris Agreement on Climate Update, and Africa’s Agenda 2063. The topics we cover include sustainable progress, climate action, agriculture, youth voice, women’s empowerment, health, the African Continental Free Trade Area and other integration efforts, generation and innovation, peace and security, economic progression, and more.
We produce our own content, commission content from freelancers in other African countries, and select content from the United Nations and African Union formula, in close collaboration with the Office of the Special Adviser on Africa (OSAA), the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA). and the African Union Development Agency (AUDA-NEPAD).
