DO YOU need to let people
know more about the new
knowledge your organisation
is producing? Do decision
makers have access to your
organisation’s work?
Would you like to increase the
impact of your organisation’s
research?

sharing your insights
NEVER BEFORE have there been so many
opportunities for sharing your work with the
wider world.
Technology has opened new channels of
communication and made content more engaging.
Still, interpreting complex technical findings for a
more general audience can be a challenge.
A PARTNERSHIP of two creative companies from northern Botswana now offers support for the entire life cycle of informing decision-makers about new knowledge. Relevant Research is a new service offered by Twin Zebras design studio and Moedi wa Kitso knowledge mobilisation advisors. Designed especially for projects and institutions committed to engaging with decision makers to see the evidence from their studies used to build better policies and programmes, Relevant Research:• analyses your organisation’s substantive work• listens to your strategic priorities• interprets your outputs in language that your policy audiences can understand• helps your people develop the skills, insight and expertise to engage with the right audiences at the right time.
MOEDI WA KITSO’S expertise in content creation, information re-purposing, dissemination and communications, focuses on mobilising your organisation’s knowledge for maximum influence. Content for a wide range of media -- including web, mobile technologies and print – is customised for the client through mobilised teams of writers, editors, technical advisors, animators, media specialists, web content developers, and database developers. Looking further than end products, Moedi wa Kitso also helps organisations build the collaborative processes that stimulate real engagement of researchers and policy makers.
TWIN ZEBRAS’ extensive experience in design and production of high quality publicity and campaign materials, including annual reports, brochures, posters, web sites and advertisements, creates brilliant visual context for an organisation’s stories.

by publically funded institutions
and are committed to going the
extra mile to meet programme
and project deadlines.

how we work
NEED A high impact report?
An influential social media campaign?
An information-rich website?
WE REVIEW your key documents, including evaluations and specific research outputs, and interview your researchers and managers to uncover the insights – and successes – that can remain hidden amid technical detail. We look at your audiences – funders, policy decision-makers, partners, clients – to discover their primary interests.
Then we create stimulating stories that show how the work your organisation is doing has the potential to meet these interests. The next step is to package these stories, enhanced with striking images and explanatory information graphics, and choose the most appropriate media to use in sharing your insights with your audiences and the wider world. Since we offer a start-to-finish service, we make sure that final products are placed where they will have the most impact, and follow up with a review of uptake.
