Message from the Chairperson

Dr. David Mrisho

At PACJI, we believe journalism should do more than report—it should build. In every community across Africa, there are stories of strength, creativity, and progress waiting to be told. Our mission is to make those stories visible.

Constructive journalism offers a powerful shift in perspective. It doesn’t ignore challenges—it contextualizes them, offering insight into how people and institutions are working toward solutions. This approach helps reconnect journalism with its highest purpose: to inform, to engage, and to empower.

As Chairperson, I am proud to lead a network committed to a more balanced, forward-looking media landscape. Together, we are shaping a narrative that reflects the full depth of Africa—its hardships, yes, but also its hope, ingenuity, and potential.

Thank you for standing with us. Your voice and your vision matter.

Message from the Secretary General

Dr. Dotto Bulendu

Welcome to the Pan African Constructive Journalism Initiative (PACJI).

In a world where narratives shape perception and perception drives action, the role of journalism has never been more critical. At PACJI, we believe in a transformative approach to storytelling—one that transcends the conventional focus on conflict, crisis, and despair. Our mission is to amplify voices, highlight solutions, and inspire progress across our diverse continent.

Constructive journalism is not about ignoring challenges. It is about telling the full story—one that includes the resilience of our people, the innovation of our youth, and the countless examples of communities rising to meet adversity with creativity and courage. Africa deserves to be seen not only through the lens of its trials but also through the light of its triumphs.

As Secretary General, I am honored to stand with a growing network of journalists, editors, scholars, and citizens committed to ethical, balanced, and impactful storytelling. Together, we are building a future where media empowers rather than disheartens—where it informs, unites, and mobilizes.

Thank you for visiting our platform. I invite you to explore, engage, and join us in reimagining African narratives for a better tomorrow
