*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.
