Mission & Vision
The mission of the Africa Civil Society Forum is to support the development, engagement, cooperation and coordination of civil society in Africa and beyond.
The renaissance of Africa depends on the ingenuity of its people. It is Africa’s civil society that serves as the engine to empower youth and women and the lever to support education, build economies and hold governments to standards of good governance.
Africa Civil Society Forum partners with civil society organizations to harness the knowledge, experience, wisdom and cultures of the continent to address challenges and to maximize opportunities unique to Africa and common across an increasingly interconnected world.
