Creative communications for NGOs
& the development sector
I work with development agencies and non-government organisations (NGOs) to create content for a range of strategic communications needs.
I'm a published writer, editor, website designer, communications strategist, SEO copywriter, and social media manager.
Phew.
I’m also a communications specialist with the UN.
I've lived in developing countries for most of my life, and have worked in communications across development agencies, government, NGOs, and businesses.
I’ve worked on projects in Rwanda, Burundi, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Papua New Guinea, Sri Lanka, Australia, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, and Myanmar.
I can help your organisation optimise your website, engage with your audiences, build your social media strategically, and detangle the jargon.
I provide creative solutions and strategies to your communications issues.
Work with a communications specialist who understands development.
“The International Trade Centre (ITC) engaged Lilani as a copywriter and content editor for a marketing support programme with coffee producers in East Africa.
The deliverables were great! Thanks to Lilani’s efforts, we produced a practical social media guide, which is accessible to thousands of small coffee farmers around the world. ”
