*Description: This scholarly compendium draws insight from scholars across the African continent in the fields of Strategic Communication Management as well as Communication for Development and Social Change by unravelling the complementary nature of scholarship between the two fields, through the lens of prevailing governance and sustainability challenges facing African countries, today. In this volume, scholars and professionals from African countries present theoretical insights and case studies with the goal of demonstrating the strategic importance of the two complementary fields of communication studies in contributing towards addressing development changes facing the African Continent. Therefore, the volume provides a view of Africa's development and social change from fields of inquiry that are rarely when issues of governance and sustainable development are the subject of academic discourse.
