HM Research and Intelligence (BHM R&I), through its Africa PR & Communications Report, has released a new survey asking critical questions about equity, diversity and inclusion in the field of Public Relations and Communications. Although there has been significant progress in gender equality and diversity, there is a massive opportunity to include marginalised and diverse individuals, differently-abled persons, neurodivergent persons, and persons from low-income and disadvantaged backgrounds in the PR and communications industry. APCR Chair Ayeni Adekunle says, “The PR and Communications industry will benefit from including more women, persons with disability and persons with cultural differences. The APCR committee includes Stephen Waddington, Managing Partner, Wadds Inc.; Eniola Harrison, Co-Founder, Africa Communications Week; and Femi Falodun, CEO, ID Africa. With sufficient data and insight and enough documentation of processes in the industry continent-wide, PR and Communications experts will provide the strategic advisory required to improve that narrative around Africa.
