People arrive at AFN with a dish in mind and a kitchen to go to. They are looking up how a jollof is built, what to do with scent leaf, which country a stew belongs to. That is a reader with intent, close to the moment they buy ingredients and cook.

The audience is African and it is also the diaspora: readers in Lagos, Accra and Nairobi, and readers in London, Toronto and Houston cooking food from home. The site is published in English and French.

On the site: display placements, and sponsored editorial produced to the same standard as everything else we publish.

In person: AFDF, the African Food and Drink Festival, and AFSE UK, the African Food Summit and Expo, which is a summit rather than a festival and runs to its own programme. Dates and editions are on the events page.

These are not negotiable and we would rather you knew now than after a contract:

• Sponsored content, paid partnerships and advertising are labelled as such, clearly and at the top, not in small print at the end.
• Sponsors do not choose which recipes we publish, do not see editorial before publication, and do not have approval over it.
• Where our events business has a commercial relationship with someone we are also writing about, we say so in the piece.

This is quoted from the policy that binds us, not written for this page. You can read it in full under Money and independence in our editorial standards.

• What you are trying to reach people about, in a sentence.
• Which markets matter to you, and whether you need English, French or both.
• Your window, and whether the site, the events or both are of interest.

Rates and specifications are sent on request, against what you are actually planning. There is no standing rate card, because a display placement and a season of event sponsorship are not the same conversation.
