ABOUT AFRICA AGENDA
19 YEARS OF SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY!
Greetings,
On December 11, 2023, Africa Agenda marked 19 years of our existence as an organization. For almost two decades our organization has tackled many challenges, albeit fearlessly.
Our successes — measured, not in how much money we have sitting in the bank — but in how people view, and treat the African continent, and respond to the needs of the community— are many and continue to be impactful. In summary, today, we have partnerships with several colleges and universities in the US. We’ve graduated many students through our journalism internship programs, and we continue to forge ahead with the Annual Africa Summit, as well as with our Africa News Matters website.
In the course of our history, we’ve held over 200 Africa-related events, with more than 5,000 participants in these events. Speakers at our events have included leading opinion, civil society & business leaders from more than a dozen countries. Africa Agenda has spearheaded initiatives to expand democracy and development, including the Cameroon Information and Education Day in 2009, as well as the 2023 Africa Agenda Democracy Summit. Each year we receive more than 500 phone calls and hundreds of emails requesting Africa-related information and advice.
We know we have barely begun to strengthen understanding and building real bridges to the African continent!
Please consider helping us out by donating or volunteering. If you’d like to donate, the link to give is HERE.
Nothing is too small! Again, please make a contribution to support our work!
Sincerely, George Bamu
Founder & Executive Director
