The Africa Brief

For media, by UNDP Africa

The Africa Brief

A media briefing platform providing timely access to data, expert insight and country-level perspectives on Africa’s development priorities.

The Africa Brief is a media engagement platform by UNDP Africa that provides journalists with timely, structured access to development insights from across the continent.

Designed as a regular briefing series, it responds to the need for more consistent and predictable engagement with media in a fast-moving information environment. Each session brings together key elements that support reporting, including concise updates on what is changing and why it matters, data and analysis, country-level perspectives, and direct access to experts and practitioners.

The platform also provides media-ready materials, including fact sheets, visuals and recordings, to support coverage aligned with newsroom timelines.

By connecting evidence, experience and expertise, The Africa Brief aims to strengthen access to credible information, support more accurate and solutions-oriented reporting, and contribute to a more complete understanding of Africa’s development realities.

This session focuses on how countries navigate recovery, rebuild trust and return to constitutional order. It brings together data, expert insight and country-level experience to better understand the processes that shape transitions beyond the moment of political change.

The discussion draws on insights from the Africa Facility to Support Inclusive Transitions (AFSIT), a joint initiative of the African Union and UNDP, which supports inclusive and nationally owned transition processes across the continent.
