About Talking Development

Talking Development has been imagined and built by communication and international development pro – Abel Akara Ticha – to unpack the most salient challenges to, and opportunities for global (and especially African) development in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the UN’s Agenda 2030 and the African Union’s Agenda 2063. This, from a systems thinking perspective. Akara Ticha has over two decades of combined experience in development policy analysis/advocacy, international communication, journalism, media political economy, public relations, as well as project management.
