Africa Workshops 2012
Workshops Coordinator

Director, Africa Faith and Justice Network
For decades, African countries have been recipients of "assistance" from international community yet most seem to serve the interests of donors rather than the African people. This section explores issues relating to land grabbing and food security, malaria and the global fund, modern slavery and the extractive industry, and the militarization of foreign assistance to Africa. How do they benefit the people? Is this the kind of assistance that Africa needs? Come join us and explore.
