While GSW covers the Global South broadly, with correspondents reporting directly from Africa, Asia, Europe and the Americas, this partnership with Africa.com will focus specifically on GSW's Africa-focused news, opinion and analysis, says the platform.

Through this collaboration, Africa.com will publish GSW stories that aim to illuminate African experiences and perspectives, including deeply reported features, interviews and daily news. Both platforms will also cross-promote content across their digital channels to extend reach and deepen engagement, adds the platform.

"At Global South World, we believe that stories about Africa must be told with depth, dignity and proximity to the people living them. This partnership with Africa.com allows us to bring those grounded perspectives to an even wider audience," says Ismail Akwei, Editor of Global South World.

"By combining our on-the-ground reporting with Africa.com's trusted platform and editorial excellence, we are strengthening the ecosystem of people-centered journalism across the continent. Together, we aim to ensure that Africa's realities, challenges and innovations are not just seen, but truly understood," says Akwei.

The partnership also aims to create opportunities for jointly developed stories that draw on both organisations' strengths, combining GSW's global network of reporters with Africa.com's editorial leadership and Africa-based expertise. Coverage areas may include development trends, youth innovation, governance, current events and cultural expression, adds the platform.

"High-quality journalism that centers African experiences and elevates diverse perspectives is essential to shaping a more informed global conversation," says Teresa Clarke, Chair and Executive Editor of Africa.com.

"Global South World's ground-level reporting brings vital nuance to Africa's story, and this partnership reflects our shared commitment to amplifying authentic voices and expanding the reach of Africa-focused news and insights to audiences around the world," adds Clarke. 

This partnership aims to strengthen Africa.com's growing network of Knowledge Partners — a group of education initiatives, policy leaders, innovation hubs and news organisations — that will aim to provide authoritative analysis, reporting and stories that shape Africa's future, concludes the platform.
