In fact, 33% of respondents said their strategic counsel is valued more than ever by business leaders, and a further 27% said they feel valued at board-level.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"> </span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">However, the pandemic has created significant challenges for the African PR industry, with 36% of respondents having had their employment affected. And despite the growing overall optimism, 62% believed reduced budgets still posed the greatest threat to the PR industry’s future.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"> </span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">The importance of ethical, effective communications has never been more evident than today as the world grapples with disinformation across various media. Encouragingly, the majority of PR practitioners feel the profession is viewed as ethical. 13% of respondents said they had been asked to act unethically within the past 12 months.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"> </span></div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">Other Key Findings:</span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">- The research revealed the scale of the challenge facing the industry’s attempts to adopt more rigorous measurement and evaluation methods to prove the power of its work. Troublingly, the universally discredited Metric Advertising Value Equivalent (AVE) remains the most common form of measurement.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">- Nearly half (47%) of PR professionals say that they will be back in the office full-time once COVID-19 restrictions are fully lifted. Many will spend at least some of their time working from home, while a small number are still unsure.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">- Poor measurement and evaluation, and reduced budgets, are the biggest concerns on threats to the PR industry in the immediate future. While recruitment and retention, and technology and innovation, are also substantial risks.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">- Digital and social media is a clear leader in terms of increased importance during the past two years. It was closely followed by reputation management and crisis management, both of which have been particularly relevant during the pandemic.  </span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><a href="https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001JAnwz8dnl7aVXUzDtCUwCYrKA3BrKvQZhVZsmepPoJzPw6u5NvjqL0ZWz7VcKmIs_BYfQTb46fttfH8Nu_lLmX_8_D4s5Apwfp2HIVW3NOxgCQ1vYYXHBqPOC7Mkb6x6DUMrwatuU5CIwil3Vd5ktO0xA__1wyYp6sxpO979aPETfZ9g0BWSJRhCjemwR4FF&c=ziaFUE8R2tdI8kQBGJ1GLlFfmrb0c4pHiOap0elIiIXvyNp2DzqfUQ==&ch=kRFVh-VikelIPlp511dyf3BmCsmB3dtG5xJpjoYZI13vBCN2oQICfQ==" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="color: #2961d9;" target="_blank">Read PRCA International Director Melissa Cannon’s conversation</a> with Samuel Bekele, Joint East Africa Chair and the CEO of consultancy Spotlight, and Soni Kayinamura, Joint East Africa Chair and the Founder and CEO of Clarity.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">PRCA Africa Chair Jordan Rittenberry said:</span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"> </span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">“The pandemic’s impact has been felt differently in different parts of Africa, and elsewhere in the world, but what all geographies have in common is a heightened appreciation of the value of good communications.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"> </span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">“Whether through public health campaigns promoting COVID-19 safety measures, to reassuring crisis communications from companies facing unexpected incidents, those organisations able to effectively connect with key audiences and stakeholders have been more effective and resilient during the pandemic.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"> </span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">“Meanwhile, those without proper comms capacity have suffered.

These elements unfortunately remain theoretical especially in 2022; more so in Africa where only one in four Africans has access to a safe source of drinking water, with more than 200 million people not having access to toilets and more than 80% of human excreta being discharged into the environment without treatment.</span></span></p><div style="background-color: white; color: #1a191a; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">Access to safe drinking water and sanitation are both a fundamental human right recognised by the United Nations and amplified by Goal 6 of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).</span></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1a191a; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"></span></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1a191a; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">The role of advocacy is therefore key to holding governments accountable and driving their policies, by raising sanitation visibility and in highlighting four key and active components: developing partnerships, building sustainable infrastructures, funding and lastly human. Sanitation has its technical and political components but it remains fundamentally a human issue.</span></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1a191a; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1a191a; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">The current lack of coherent and inclusive national policies regarding sanitation is an active impediment to managing sanitation across the continent. Putting laws, policies and regulations in place is a first step, but it is time-consuming – and time is not in Africa’s favor.</span></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1a191a; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1a191a; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">Access to sanitation is an extremely dynamic issue for the populations of Africa. The process for improving Africa’s policies regarding access to sanitation must reflect this dynamism. The development of policies and their implementation have to occur simultaneously across the board by encouraging community participation at each level of society.</span></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1a191a; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1a191a; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">There is a long way to go and the central issue is that not all African countries have yet recognised sanitation as a fundamental human right. This creates the challenge of enforcing people’s right to sanitation in some countries. In other countries, sanitation has been ‘constitutionalised’, making its implementation that much easier. However, even when the right to sanitation is legislated, there remains the challenge of creating coherent, dynamic, up-to-date and inclusive policies. Sanitation policies are indeed complex, and African countries are at different stages of developing or implementing their policies and regulations, building infrastructures and involving the private sector.</span></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1a191a; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">This complexity has been accentuated by weak involvement of national parliaments which ought to be controlling the process.</span></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1a191a; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1a191a; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">What needs to be done</span></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1a191a; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1a191a; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">For now, to resolve these distortions, what is important is to develop national plans, build capacity, build synergies, allocate budgets towards implementation and to reinforce advocacy work. The African Ministers’ Council for Water (AMCOW) has developed groundbreaking African Sanitation Policy Guidelines (ASPG) which can be easily tailored to each African country. With the idea of having a set of uniform guidelines for all countries having been born, parliamentarians for example, have a key role to play in monitoring government actions, and vote on appropriate laws such as budget.</span></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1a191a; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1a191a; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">ASPG provides a platform for Africa’s SDGs for sanitation to finally be met. The root cause of delay has been that sanitation is not yet fully understood within many governments, in many of which there is not so much as a ministry dedicated to sanitation. Unless governments see the potential synergy of sanitation with other sectors and the private sector, they will remain blind to the profitability inherent in sanitation.</span></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1a191a; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">Niyel has been involved in advocacy work on sanitation since 2017 to persuade key decision makers in the national governments of Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Mali, and Senegal. The objective of our advocacy is to work with governments to give greater priority to sanitation and increase the use of non-sewered sanitation as opposed to sewered sanitation which requires expensive infrastructure, thereby improving health, economic, and gender equality outcomes for the region’s underserved.</span></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1a191a; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1a191a; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">To do that, we are bringing for example decision makers face-to-face with communities in an open forum to answer the community’s questions and vice versa during the World Water Forum in Dakar. The point is to break down the perception of a hierarchy and instill the idea that leaders answer to their constituencies and to establish a condition of understanding as to what the government can and cannot do and the role of community. To decision-makers, these people cease to be faceless numbers, but their neighbors and people they now know.</span></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1a191a; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1a191a; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">Around the gaps on policies that are not only the responsibility of our decision makers we created a tool to test the knowledge of stakeholders on sanitation, to point out issues related to the value chain, policies and systems in place but above all to provide recommendations for better sanitation: The African Sanitation Championship. This championship is in two versions, an online more popular version called Poop Trivia and an offline version. The second edition of the offline version will be held during the World Water forum in Dakar where 6 groups of actors in the sanitation sector will compete: parliamentarians, ministries, national utilities, emptiers, young water professionals and civil society.</span></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1a191a; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1a191a; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">Following a webinar we organized with the African Network of Parliamentarians for Drinking Water, Hygiene and Sanitation around the ASPG and the role of parliamentarians to ensure their implementation, parliamentarians from Burkina Faso who attended instructed the Minister in Burkina to integrate those guidelines in a strategy on wastewater and excreta that was in development. This demonstrates the growing assertiveness parliamentarians are showing on sanitation. Building on this, we are convening a meeting of parliamentarians during the World Water Forum in Dakar to reflect on the role they play and to define future actions in ensuring the development and implementation of inclusive policies at a national level in the different countries. In this manner we aim to introduce a more nuanced national policy than the broad strokes of ASPG.</span></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1a191a; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1a191a; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">We appeal to all African governments in addition to implementing inclusive policies to ensure an enabling environment where the private sector, communities and media are fully contributing to ensuring that each African has access to safe drinking water, decent toilets and good hygiene.</span></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1a191a; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1a191a; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">Laetitia Sadiya Delaunay Badolo is responsible for the planning and delivery of advocacy and public affairs projects</span></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1a191a; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1a191a; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Distributed by </span><a href="https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001ZKAWAl9htopwe9iZfISGq_NDeA4HJIaAPkDI60dTgbfArCvzb-sizR4DHx-TVjMfFgKlX5EvFkARiKtlqem-7L8OH3F1y3E8xkTMBbLgTFkwCzJvGTaNTsH87EmbOc7-BDb4X6OryMa7jD_47h8-wXXVtuQ8VFeS&c=l5A-O8-phNkUuI7-MtxNjbh8keGG_dHFRY_OajKBFV8OUTpxxZm5RA==&ch=ZhPutG4aBNCyeE68eicz6rpMnGK6X99cT31SaY5qXJw6Nqpo3dX87w==" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="color: #2961d9; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">African Media Agency</a> on behalf of <span style="font-style: italic;">Niyel.</span></span></div>
