About

Global South Connections is a business, knowledge and opportunities platform for Africa. We publish premium editorial intelligence, curate verified opportunities, convene decision-makers at events, and connect people and institutions through our international platform, Global South Connections.

We exist because the stories, data and deals that will define the next decade of global growth are being written in Nairobi, Lagos, Kigali, Accra, Johannesburg and beyond, and they deserve a platform with international standards and regional depth. Every piece we publish, every opportunity we list and every event we convene is prepared with the rigour of a global institution and the context of people who live these markets.

How We Work

Every listing on the Opportunity Desk is checked against the source before publication. Every report is researched and written in-house or with named knowledge partners. Every event is designed around outcomes (deals explored, relationships formed, decisions made), not around seat counts. And every partner, advertiser and sponsor is disclosed, because trust is the only durable currency in media.

We hold ourselves to the standards we admire in the world’s great business publications, while speaking with the voice and context of the markets we cover. That combination, international craft with regional truth, is the signature of Global South Connections.
