ABN is a network of pioneering African leaders who have been catalyzing innovative, community-based solutions to Africa’s worsening poverty, governance and environmental crisis. Partner organizations, operating across 12 countries, work with communities to enhance seed and food sovereignty, biological and cultural diversity, intergenerational learning, and community ecological governance. ABN is spearheading a culturally centered approach, encouraging Africans to learn from their elders as custodians of the continent’s rich ecological knowledge, restorative justice and governance traditions, in order to rebuild self confidence, identity and leadership.
