Canva appoints reseller for African market

Canva, the global visual communication platform, has announced the appointment of Learning Curve as its first locally-based partner in Africa. This collaboration aims to provide businesses and universities across the continent with access to Canva's digital solutions portfolio, including local onboarding, training, and ongoing customer support. Canva Africa, the regional office for the Australian-based company, spearheads this initiative.

Learning Curve, a technology and training company established in 2006, works with organizations across Sub-Saharan Africa to help them effectively adopt technology. Through their partnership with Canva, Learning Curve will support three primary Canva offerings: Canva Business, Canva Enterprise, and Canva Campus.

Canva Campus, for instance, supports higher education institutions in various areas such as teaching and learning, research communication, marketing, and student engagement. Glen Lumley, CEO of Learning Curve, emphasized that their role extends beyond providing software access; they aim to help organizations integrate Canva into their operations productively and efficiently.

Bianca Sibiya, the lead for Canva Africa, highlighted that visual communication has become a core aspect of organizational functioning, not an add-on. Sibiya further stated, "Access to Canva is just the beginning; the real value lies in helping teams use it with confidence."

For Canva Africa, this partnership with Learning Curve is a significant milestone, as it ensures that businesses, enterprises, and educational institutions across Africa receive comprehensive support for adopting Canva. The company expressed excitement about the potential collaborations and advancements that can be achieved together across the continent.
