Calyx Communications

 We offer services in research communications, 
knowledge mobilization and program learning
for organizations driving health and social impact. 

I'm Anita Dubey, the owner of Calyx Communications. 

My expertise is in translating knowledge and enabling people to make decisions to create better lives for themselves, their communities or societies.

For more than 20 years, I've worked for global foundations, advocacy organizations, research centres, federal agencies, medical publishers and media outlets in North America, Europe and Africa.  As a consultant, I work with a network of like-minded collaborators around the globe.

Trained in public health, biology and journalism, I specialize in health research and evaluation, but also have substantial experience in education and economic development in low- and middle-income countries. I have worked on systems change approaches that prioritize gender and disability inclusion.

Can your study, evaluation or implementation insights benefit others - but you don't know what to do?

I can help. Together we will identify who to reach, how to reach them and how to simplify and share your message effectively. I apply audience research and years of experience to create evidence-informed guides, policy briefs, news releases reports, websites and much more. 

I can handle any type of complex information for any audience. Recently I've worked in global community health, mental health, and women and children's health. In the past, I've created content on clinical trials, genetics and neuroscience. 

I'm versatile enough to cover diverse topics, ranging from education and financial inclusion to agriculture in LMICs.

"Anita brought exceptional professionalism, adaptability, and a deep understanding of community health policy to her role documenting key proCHW policy wins. Her ability to engage a wide range of stakeholders—with clarity, empathy, and cultural sensitivity—was instrumental in the success of our Burkina Faso case study.

Anita’s sharp analytical skills and thoughtful storytelling brought our work to life in ways that resonate with both technical and non-technical audiences. ....We are proud to continue working with her and highly recommend her for any work that requires strategic communication, research, and policy insight.
