What we do

African ACES acts as a bridge between subject experts and beneficiaries. We work together to compress specialist knowledge through digital media into visual and audio formats in order to target maximum amount of beneficiaries.

Traditionally, this has been through television broadcast, DVD distribution and uploading to the web. We are now also moving towards audio recording and reformatting for radio and podcast. African ACES partners with business; NGO’s; educational institutions, government and funding organisations to identify and develop projects, with emphasis on the following target sectors:
