Building an alliance of African NGOs committed to the empowerment of local grassroots movements as the driving force for attaining self-reliant sustainable development and social justice in Africa.

The challenge for African NGOs to maximize their capacities and resources has made networking and coalitions an imperative for proving the effectiveness of NGOs as service providers to grassroots populations.

They are also advocacy agents who protect the interests of grassroots populations vis-à-vis the State and other policy makers. This challenge, together with that for African NGOs to be sustainable and credible have also contributed to the need to pool resources to achieve economies of scale for maximum impact and to avoid duplication of efforts.
