Neusa E Silva

International correspondent journalist with fourteen years of experience producing high-impact reporting on Africa, specialising in economics, geopolitics, climate change and illicit financial flows. 
My approach combines investigative rigour with an extensive network of high-level contacts, resulting in exclusive, multi-platform work that reaches global audiences. 

Highlights of my experience: 
High-impact global investigation: I was the lead investigator for the Angola chapter of the international collaborative investigation ‘Burning Skies’ (Oxpeckers), which exposed the environmental practices of oil and gas companies worldwide. 

International reach reporting: Author of the investigative article ‘Why Africa bleeds diamond revenues,’ a landmark piece that was translated and republished in more than ten languages by Deutsche Welle (DW), sparking a global debate on the topic. 

Exclusive access to leaders: Through my extensive network of contacts, I secured exclusive interviews with three African presidents, demonstrating a unique ability to access primary and highly relevant sources. 

Analytical expertise: I have a postgraduate degree in Combating Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing, which allows me to analyse and report on complex economic and financial issues with a depth and analytical rigour that sets my work apart.
