AllAfrica is a voice of, by and about Africa - aggregating, producing and distributing news and information from over 140 African news organizations and our own reporters to an African and global public. AllAfrica's multi-channel platform is the only independent, comprehensive pan-African news source, with unrivaled reach and reputation. We operate from Cape Town, Dakar, Abuja, Monrovia, Nairobi and Washington DC.

In response to requests by change-makers across Africa, AllAfrica is producing stories and voices of people who are leading a movement for social progress and providing a platform to make the connections and information they need to succeed.

Africa has three-quarters of the world’s poorest countries – as well as spectacularly successful initiatives that can lead and teach the world. Emerging leaders across the continent are reducing maternal and child mortality, attacking malaria and other killers, pioneering agricultural schemes to eliminate hunger and malnutrition, developing new methodologies to combat and adapt to climate change, and using art and music to mobilize communities and to hold decision makers accountable.

We connect these researchers, activists, entrepreneurs and experts to each other and to the world. A multi-media sharing of compelling narratives, challenges, inspiration and achievements on issues that cross national and regional boundaries, this cooperative work, led by African innovators, serves all those working for transformative change. They – and you, our audience – will be the beneficiaries.
