Okapi Consulting CC
Okapi Consulting is a Johannesburg-based research and implementation organisation with associates throughout Africa and around the world. We are a leader in innovative thinking on media and research issues in tough places – conflict zones, fragile states and places where freedom of expression is still only a dream. In places where the creation of a democratic state is still a work in progress, we use appropriate technology to get the message through. We take complex and render it understandable, by drawing on the first-hand knowledge of people who know the field and have got their hands dirty.
