<p>
Focus Multimedia Consultancy (FMC) is one of Malawi’s leading
communication agencies, established in 2016 and registered
under the Business Registration Act. FMC specializes in
developing and implementing communication and public relations
strategies across various sectors, including media relations,
outdoor advertising, graphic design, and event management.
Recognizing a significant gap in addressing socio-economic
issues aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
and Malawi Vision 2063, Prince Benito Henderson, the founder
of FMC, envisioned integrating FMC's operations into
Communication for Development Initiatives (CDI), a newly
registered NGO.
</p>
<p>
This integration transforms CDI from a media firm into a
Private Limited by Guarantee NGO, leveraging FMC’s expertise
and established networks to enhance resource mobilization,
stakeholder engagement, and project implementation. The
synergy of FMC’s communication strengths with CDI’s
developmental focus aims to increase visibility and
credibility in the sector, ensuring sustainability and
impactful project execution. Prince’s academic background in
journalism and public relations, along with his Master of Arts
in Development Studies and ongoing PhD studies, positions him
as a leader capable of driving CDI’s mission to leverage
communication for sustainable development and community
empowerment in Malawi.
