#MuwadoSADCtour

Muwado has grown and is ready to serve the bigger African storytelling community tangibly with content monetisation tools for its storytellers. We are based in Uganda and most of the stories shared here so far have been from Uganda. We want to change that so we can truly be Africa’s Storytelling Platform. To that end, we are going to be touring the Southern African Development Community (SADC) with the following goals:

• Meet storytellers in these other countries to let them know about the platform.
• Widen the audience of Muwado stories to these additional countries.
• Engage potential advertisers in these countries so they can take advantage of our advanced targeted advertising system.
• Document our travel by public transport through these countries to encourage creatives to cross borders and take advantage of opportunities in other countries now that the African Free Continental Trade Area (AFCTA)
• Research about the creative economy in these countries. This will inform future platform upgrades to better address identified gaps.

The goal is to do a week minimum per country. The countries planned are:

• Zimbabwe
• Malawi
• Zambia
• Angola 
• Namibia
• Botswana
• South Africa
• Lesotho
• Eswatini
• Mozambique 
• and then back to East Africa.

We’ll be sharing experiences on the road on our founder’s account and you can follow the official Muwado Community Management page for stories from creatives we find on the road.

If you are reading this from any of the listed locations, drop a comment and let’s hang out.
