MEET AND GREET: ZIPRC SECRETARY MR. NICOLAS NKHUWA

Meet Nicolas Nkhuwa, Zambia Institute of Public Relations and Communication (ZIPRC) Secretary, currently serving as Manager – Public Relations at the Examinations Council of Zambia (ECZ).

Mr. Nkhuwa is passionate about strategic communication, governance, risk management, and stakeholder engagement.

He believes in effective planning, monitoring, and evaluation, with a strong focus on sustainability, impact, and value in the implementation of corporate communication policies and strategies.

Mr. Nkhuwa believes that effective communication and self-determination are key to opening professional doors. When PR and Communication professionals use expertise, evidence, and data to inform decisions, they earn a permanent seat at the decision-making table.

He also emphasises the importance of demonstrating accountability and Return on Investment (ROI) in communication projects, noting that the PR and Communication profession should continue to grow in this area.

Beyond the Boardroom, Mr. Nkhuwa is passionate about social responsibility, championing young professionals, career development, and mentorship.

He believes that “the profession will be as prosperous as its members.”

“I am ZIPRC. Professional, Purposeful Communication is my Song.”

Fun Fact: He enjoys gardening.

Dear ZIPRC members, you are invited to tell us a bit about yourself, where you are based, what you do beyond the boardroom, and one fun fact about yourself so that we feature you on this platform.

ZIPRC urges PR, Communication practitioners to embrace AI to enhance their work

The Zambia Institute of Public Relations and Communication (ZIPRC) has urged its members to embrace Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools when creating content and analysing data for strategic communication to enhance their daily work.

By embracing AI and emerging technologies, Zambia’s communication professionals are better positioned to deliver impactful, data-driven, and future-ready communication strategies.

This call was made by ZIPRC Secretary, Nicholas Nkhuwa, at a recently held two-day Continuous Professional Development (CPD) training on AI and Emerging Technologies in Communication.

Mr. Nkhuwa emphasised the importance of equipping PR and communication practitioners with the skills and knowledge needed to remain relevant and competitive in a rapidly evolving digital environment.

The training, which was held in Siavonga from September 24 - 25, 2026, also provided a platform for networking, knowledge exchange, and practical demonstrations of AI tools that can enhance efficiency, creativity, and audience engagement.

This initiative reflects ZIPRC’s commitment to continuous professional growth, innovation, and excellence in communication practice.

The training was facilitated by Tigana Chileshe and Shuko Musemangezhi, who engaged Public Relations practitioners on the opportunities and implications of AI and emerging technologies in communication.

PR TIP TUESDAY

Don't measure Public Relations (PR) success only by the number of media mentions. Look at outcomes such as digital media traffic, stakeholder engagement, sentiment, share of voice and progress toward organisational objectives.

Why measuring PR outcomes matters:

Shows the real impact of PR: Media mentions indicate visibility, but outcomes such as digital media traffic, enquiries, event attendance, or stakeholder engagement show whether communication actually influenced audience behaviour or engagement.

Demonstrates value to management: Clear results help PR practitioners show how communication activities contribute to organisational objectives and justify PR budgets and resources.

Improves decision-making: Measurement helps practitioners identify what is working, what is not, and where communication strategies need to be adjusted.

Measures audience sentiment: Monitoring whether people respond positively, negatively, or neutrally provides insight into how an organisation or campaign is being perceived.

Don't just count how much attention your PR receives, measure what that attention achieves. Good PR measurement connects communication activity to meaningful outcomes.
