“Every project is ultimately about people — their realities, voices, risks, aspirations and capacity to shape change.”
At KUMBATIA, our work spans strategic communication, social impact programming, multimedia production and community engagement across diverse development contexts in Mozambique and internationally.
We collaborate with governments, international organisations, NGOs, development partners and private sector actors to design communication approaches that are grounded in evidence, culturally relevant and operationally connected to realities on the ground.
Our projects combine strategy, storytelling and implementation support across the following areas:
Gender & GBV Prevention
Development of communication strategies, awareness campaigns, IEC materials and community engagement approaches focused on prevention and mitigation of Gender-Based Violence (GBV), Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (SEA), Sexual Harassment (SH) and child protection risks.
This includes work linked to infrastructure, WASH, humanitarian and rural development programmes financed by international partners, with strong emphasis on safeguarding, accountability, Codes of Conduct, complaint mechanisms and community-based prevention.
Social & Behaviour Change Communication (SBCC)
Design and implementation of evidence-based SBCC strategies addressing health, nutrition, hygiene, youth engagement, social norms and community participation.
Our approach integrates behavioural insights, local languages, participatory methodologies and culturally adapted communication tools designed to support sustainable behaviour change in complex environments.
Strategic & Institutional Communication
Support to organisations and programmes in strengthening institutional visibility, stakeholder engagement, advocacy, positioning and communication systems.
This includes communication frameworks, media engagement, strategic narratives, crisis communication support, donor visibility and communication planning for large-scale development initiatives.
Multimedia Storytelling & Documentation
Production of documentaries, institutional films, photography, case studies, testimonials and digital content designed to communicate impact in human and compelling ways.
Our multimedia work focuses on authentic storytelling rooted in community realities and field experiences, translating technical interventions into accessible and emotionally resonant narratives.
Community Engagement & Participation
Design of participatory communication processes that strengthen dialogue, inclusion and trust between communities, institutions and implementing partners.
This includes facilitation of consultations, community validation processes, stakeholder mapping, participatory workshops and communication approaches tailored to low-literacy and multilingual contexts.
Digital Communication & Platforms
Development of websites, digital communication tools, social media strategies and integrated online/offline communication systems that support accessibility, visibility and engagement.
We work with organisations to create digital ecosystems that are functional, secure, user-friendly and aligned with broader communication objectives.
Research, Learning & Knowledge Management
Support to studies, assessments and learning processes through communication-sensitive research design, data collection tools, synthesis products and knowledge dissemination strategies.
This includes baseline studies, evaluations, qualitative documentation, lessons learned processes and knowledge products for institutional and donor audiences.
