In a new interview with University of Oxford’s Associate Professor of Human Geography Amber Murrey, published by Developing Economics, Baobab’s Co-Founder and CEO reflects on the shifting global development landscape in “Aid is being dismantled — what comes next?”

The conversation explores the political and narrative dimensions of the USAID restructuring and what these changes reveal about power, partnership, and perception in international development. Drawing from her experience across organizations such as Tostan, African Development Bank Group, and Prosper Africa, and over ten years serving our clients, Liz shares insights on how communications and storytelling can move the field from aid to agency, and from dependency to dignity.

As Baobab, we see this moment as an inflection point for a new kind of partnership — one grounded in African leadership, investment, and narrative sovereignty. The future of development communication lies in collaboration, shared value, and stories told on Africa’s own terms.

Dear Baobab Network,

As 2024 comes to a close, we are filled with tremendous gratitude for the milestones we’ve achieved and the incredible partnerships that have shaped our journey. This year has been a powerful reminder of what’s possible when passion meets purpose, and we’re thrilled to share some of the highlights with you.

This year, we:
📌 Grew the Baobab family to 27 talented team members, spanning 5 continents, 17 countries, 10 time zones, and speaking 14 languages - all with a combined 220 years of experience delivering excellence.

📌 Celebrated 8 years of impact as we marked Baobab’s anniversary and reflected on our journey of driving solutions, empowering voices, and connecting continents.

📌 Expanded our digital reach, growing our community to 17,000 members across our digital platforms.

📌 Relaunched our website and introduced a refreshed logo, symbolizing our forward-thinking approach and renewed commitment to impact-driven consulting.

📌 Launched the Africa Social Impact Lens newsletter, which already has over 1,000 subscribers and documented stories from 34 African countries and the diaspora.

📌 Strengthened stakeholder relations and worked on transformative projects focused on women’s equity, global health, sustainability in the Global South, and diaspora engagement, all aimed at fostering positive, long-term change.

2024 was also about building bridges and driving progress:
Through platforms like the Tree Tales and collaborative efforts, we highlighted Africa's changemakers, discussed critical issues, and explored opportunities for growth and innovation.

Looking forward to 2025, our commitment to amplify African voices, drive equitable partnerships, and deliver innovative solutions that transform communities and bridge continents remains the same. Together, we’ll continue creating meaningful impact.

From all of us at Baobab Consulting, thank you for being an integral part of our story. We wish you a festive holiday season, a merry Christmas, and an inspiring start to the new year in advance!
