About the Partnering Process

ACT believes that our partners have a critical role to play in countering key aspects of national decline and acute social, ethnic and religious fissures. The partnering projects empower all participants to grapple with the complexities of social and economic development and to discover their own roles in addressing social injustice, inequity and suffering in a meaningful way. We work closely with our partners to enable them to become effective stakeholders in this process.

ACT Associates
An international network of project partners presently located across Nigeria, the USA, and Europe. ACT Associates provide a unique framework of support, accountability and sustainability for local development projects in Africa. Largely comprised of dedicated African professionals and other international partners, our Associates are generally located outside the immediate project environment and are committed to making their experience, technical and professional expertise, advocacy and other project support services, freely available to local project participants. For more information on how to become an ACT associate, please contact the ACT Associates Coordinator at info@actafrica.org
