The Climate QuestionWhat should Africa do with its fossil fuel reserves?Africa accounts for around 10 per cent of the world's known fossil-fuel reserves. But plans to build an oil pipeline through East Africa to transport hundreds of thousands of barrels a day have been condemned by the European Union. The pipeline, which runs from the source in Uganda to the Tanzanian coast, will generate billions of dollars a year. But critics say it will release tens of millions of tonnes of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. In this programme we hear from the people involved in the fight over the East African Crude Oil Pipeline, and...

2022-08-0443 minThe Dickens Olewe podcastEpisode 3/4: What’s impacting the quality of journalism in Kenya, Uganda and TanzaniaQuality journalism is positively related to innovation – meaning that media houses that invest in quality journalism seem to be more innovative and vice versa.
However quality journalism is challenged by issues such as intimidation and pressure from political entities, funders and advertisers. This pressure and intimidation was found to be present in all three East African countries, though at varying levels: it was highest in Uganda and lowest in Tanzania.

The pandemic led to a decrease in advertising demand but at the same time an increase in demand for information, and, therefore, larger audiences.
Most media houses adapted to the pandemic only with layoffs and paycuts, but did not transform their business model, which is a key mark of business resilience in crisis.

Africa DailyDoes Kenyan election matter to Africa?Kenya, one of Africa's leading economies, will be electing a new president on 9 August. The main contenders seeking to replace President Uhuru Kenyatta are his deputy William Ruto and his long-time rival, now turned ally Raila Odinga. The election comes at a hard time for many Kenyans who are facing a surge in the cost of living, unemployment and severe climate change challenges, among others.

The Documentary PodcastKenya's election hustleKenyan politicians are spending millions of dollars on campaigns to win lucrative political office in August's crucial elections. With 75 percent of Kenyans under the age of 35, securing the youth vote will be key. But amid a youth unemployment crisis, many have grown disillusioned about the chance for real change. Dickens Olewe travels to Nairobi to meet the young Kenyans who instead see the election campaign as a new business opportunity, a new "hustle" to extract cash from competing candidates.

It also identifies information and news gaps that offer alternative framing for business in Africa. The report shows another ‘scramble for Africa’ by foreign powers is underway in international media and that keywords, stories, frames, and narratives associated with business on the continent are dangerously distorted. There is an overemphasis on the role of governments, foreign powers, and larger African states alongside an under appreciation of the role of young people, women, entr...

2021-06-011h 08The Dickens Olewe podcast“Fake News” and Cyber-Propaganda in Sub-Saharan AfricaDominant narratives about the contemporary problem of “fake news” and cyber-propaganda have focused on how its evolution and manifestation has been closely linked with the rise of populist politics, digital capitalism, the transformation of the public sphere and structural weaknesses of liberal and mainstream media. These narratives often use the Western gaze as an analytical and theoretical toolkit to understand a global phenomenon, thereby missing local specificities and nuances.

The China Africa ProjectA Discussion with Ambassador Kuang Weilin on Current Issues in China-Africa RelationsFor much of the past two decades, China’s engagement in Africa has been steady, rather predictable and largely uneventful. That is, until this year.
The China-Africa relationship is facing an unprecedented mix of challenges today across a wide range of issues including the burgeoning COVID-19 pandemic on the continent to the crisis in Guangzhou to how Beijing will respond to Africa’s calls for debt relief.
Given how quickly events on the ground are changing, it’s really too early to tell how all of this will impact the future course of ties between these two regions.
