DCMSI: Dinovate Centre for Media and Social Impact
Advancing social justice, equity, and inclusive development through storytelling and community-led media.
About Us
DCMSI is the nonprofit arm of Dinovate. We go beyond storytelling—we design strategic communication that shifts attitudes, challenges harmful norms, and mobilizes communities into action.
We believe in the power of stories to transform lives, but we go further. We design strategic communication approaches that don’t just raise awareness — they shift attitudes, challenge harmful norms, and mobilize communities into action.
Our Mission
To equip underserved communities, youth, and changemakers with tools to tell authentic stories, advocate effectively, and drive measurable social and behavioural change.
Our Work Is Rooted In Four Pillars
Storytelling for Social Change
We train grassroots storytellers to create documentaries, photostories, and digital narratives that inspire action.
Social and Behavioural Change Communication (SBCC)
We design SBCC campaigns that co-create resonant messages and measure real change across multiple media.
Training & Capacity Building
Through Dinovate Academy, we run workshops and fellowships that build creative communication skills.
Research, Evidence & Impact
We blend storytelling with research to influence policy, surface local voices, and generate evidence.
Our Approach
- Community First: We work with, not just for, communities.
- Inclusive by Design: We prioritize youth, women, people with disabilities, and marginalized groups.
- Multi-Channel Impact: We leverage traditional and digital media, campaigns, and dialogue.
- Evidence-Driven: We monitor and evaluate for measurable change.
