AFFORD believes strongly in the power of Africa’s diaspora to drive the continent’s long-term economic growth and prosperity. Set up in the UK in 1994, with a mission “to expand and enhance” those contributions, AFFORD now has offices in Brussels, with two others soon to be established in Nigeria and Ghana. It is widely recognised as a pioneer and innovator in ‘diaspora and development’ programmes, particularly in the areas of research, finance and job creation. Our current €3 million Swiss funded ABC West Africa Programme aims to harness diaspora investment to create jobs in Benin, Ghana, Nigeria and Senegal.
If you believe in the important work we are doing to grow Africa, AFFORD is the place for you.
