WHO WE ARE

We are the Architects of strategic impact

Athari Communications Ltd is a strategic advisory firm working at the intersection of communications, public policy, and sustainable development. We help organisations turn evidence into influence, and ideas into action. Our work is grounded in a simple belief: that well-crafted communication, anchored in evidence and ethics, can shift power, shape policy, and unlock lasting social change.

How we create change

At Athari, we are builders of alliances for change. We work alongside organisations committed to improving the
well-being of women, children, youth, and men – helping them document impact, challenge harmful narratives,
and design communications strategies that resonate where it matters most. In a rapidly shifting African and
global landscape, we exist to ensure that evidence speaks louder, policy works better, and change is not only
imagined, but achieved.

What Defines Our Work

We partner with foundations, public institutions, private sector actors, development partners, and civil society
across Africa to navigate complex political, social, economic and regulatory environments. Whether supporting
policy reform, advancing gender equality, strengthening civic space, or mobilising support for inclusive
economic systems, we bring clarity to contested narratives and credibility to advocacy efforts. Our approach
blends deep contextual insight, rigorous analysis, and compelling storytelling to help partners engage decision-
makers, influence public opinion, and drive reform that works.

We operate where people and markets meet policy

Athari works in the space where commercial objectives, public policy, and social expectations
intersect. We help clients understand how political, regulatory, and societal dynamics shape risk and
opportunity – and how to engage them strategically.

We believe evidence drives better decisions

Our advice is grounded in rigorous analysis, contextual intelligence, and a deep understanding of
African policy environments. We translate complexity into clear insight that supports sound
investment, effective engagement, and long-term value creation.

We focus on outcomes, not visibility

Communications is not an end in itself. We design strategies that support concrete objectives – whether securing regulatory clarity, strengthening stakeholder trust, protecting reputation, or enabling sustainable growth.

We combine local depth with global standards

Our work is rooted in African markets and realities, while aligned with international best practice in governance, ESG, and responsible investment. This allows our partners to operate credibly across jurisdictions and audiences.

We take a long-term view

We work with organisations committed to building durable value. That means anticipating change,
engaging responsibly, and aligning commercial success with social legitimacy and policy coherence.
