About Africa Agenda
20 Years of “Changing
African News”
Thank you for visiting our Africa Agenda website. Whatever brought you here, we hope you find this website useful.
On December 11th, 2024, Africa Agenda marked 20 years of our existence as an organization. As the founding leader and executive director, I’ve been here all these years, shepherding what I call “a small non-profit with a big agenda and a big heart.” I’ve seen many of you, our volunteers — students, professors, journalists, business and community leaders, and well-wishers — helping us do the work the organization is called to do.
Africa Agenda has come a long way since 2004
