OUR HISTORY

The Association for the Advancement of Africa is a U.S.-based, non-profit 501(c)(3), nonpartisan organization. The organization was created in January 2000 by Dr. Sunday-Joseph Otengho, PhD., PhD.,a PanAfricanist, who holds the view that true liberation of the people of African descent, regardless of their place of abode, is based on the unification of Africa in all its institutional entities. It is the intent of this organization to help empower, strengthen, mobilize and enhance the fundamental relationship between Africans of the Diaspora and Africa.

 

Association for the Advancement of Africa, Inc. is in the business of changing and shaping lives. The work we do at our Nonprofit Organization is aimed at continuing the vision of our forefathers who believed that the survival of Africa depended upon the unity of Africa.  We believe that the African Diaspora, especially our young people, be they Millennials or Baby Boomer progeny, must be empowered by creating opportunities that give them center stage in redefining and engaging in the unity of Africa for the preservation our people.
 

The Association seeks to develop programs and affiliations with local, national, and international universities to further an understanding of African culture, issues, and processes, while providing information to all people of African descent concerning education, economics, health, culture, science and technology, immigration, business, civic awareness, women's issues, and bilateral relationships, all with the goal of the unification and integration of Africa. The mission of this Association is to mobilize Africans of the Diaspora, Africans in Africa, and all friends of Africa to address the cultural, economic, educational, civic, immigration, health, scientific, and social needs of African societies, domestic and international.
