[David Gichuru, Standard]The 32nd Africa Industrialisation Day was on November 20, 2021. No doubt, industrialisation is an important element in promoting sustainable socio-economic development across African countries. For a continent whose global narrative is largely skewed towards the negative, the role of communication in reversing this trend, and its place in contributing significantly to Africa's socio-economic rise, become ever more significant. Which begs the question, how can the continent change this? Indeed, inaccurate media reports or the so-called 'fake news' merely serve to perpetuate the negative bias which, if anything, can only serve to derail Africa's industrialisation agenda.
