Summary
The biggest media house in East and Central Africa continues with its transformation from a legacy media house to a 21st century digital content company.
NMG is changing its business model from an advertiser-revenue-funded operation to a digital subscriptions company.
Six Nation Media Group (NMG) brands and products have been nominated for global awards just a month after the design of its digital flagship brand, Nation.Africa, was picked as a finalist at the world-renowned International Forum (iF) Design Award 2021.
Transforming strategies to facilitate a post-Covid-19 era that’s full of hope
Wednesday January 27 2021

While fast becoming a cliché, in a space of just nine months, the way of life of virtually the whole of humankind has changed. SARSCoV-2 respects no geographic, gender, ethnic, or religious boundaries. Dealing with it has required coordinated efforts between the government, the commercial sector, civil society, and individuals.
On behalf of the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN), I would like to congratulate the Nation Media Group (NMG) on holding the second edition of the Kusi Ideas Festival – Towards a Post-Covid Africa, in these unprecedented times and under the most challenging of circumstances. NMG’s resilience, flexibility, and ability to adapt to the Covid-19 pandemic is reflective of the capacity of AKDN agencies, of which NMG is one, to respond to crises beyond immediate interventions.
