Shem Oirere · Freelance journalist, Nairobi · Open to commissions

I report on the deals, projects and outcomes that reshape Africa's economy.

From Nairobi, I follow who wins key contracts across Africa's economic sectors, who finances the projects, why key economic initiatives stall, and what production outcomes mean for seafood and agricultural processors who depend on it. My reporting runs in leading international trade titles such as SeafoodSource, Engineering News Record (ENR), Coatings World, Pine Chemicals Review (PCR), Elevator World, World Grains, Seed Today, Milling Journal among other global media outlets.
