About
Ms. Natasha Batley
Hey there, welcome to my space!
I’m Natasha Batley, a communications enthusiast on a mission to spark sustainable development and drive impactful global partnerships that are reshaping Africa’s economies.
With over 10 years in the development world, I’ve had the chance to collaborate with incredible organizations like the World Bank Group, the United Nations, and many others, all while crafting communications strategies that truly move the needle on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Currently working on my PhD in Communications at the University of Westminster, I’m diving deep into how media and communication can fuel economic and social progress; especially in Africa.
On this blog, I share stories from my development journey, insights from my research, and why communication is the secret sauce to empowering communities and unlocking potential. So, pull up a chair and join me as we explore the fascinating intersection of communications, development, and all the exciting things in between.
