PROJECTS AND ACTIVITIES

ACT offers a meaningful framework for an integrated approach for participatory social change and national development. We offer participating groups the opportunity to transform their internal and external environment by forging partnerships for sustainable change and making significant investments into the emerging generation of leaders. Our activities facilitate empowerment in the face of underdevelopment and inequity by fostering local agents for social transformation.

• We motivate and enable individuals and communities to realize their potential to effect social change in their own localities through strategically contextualized strategies and assist academic institutions, corporate organizations and public agencies in redefining their social roles and creating enduring community linkages for local development.

• We harness the knowledge, creativity, and capacities of young peoples by opening up new opportunities for involvement in communitarian action through development partnerships, mentoring networks and leadership training programs.
  
  
• We initiate and facilitate strategic partnering initiatives among educational, business, governmental and community organizations for addressing critical local problems.
  
  
• We help establish community-campus compacts and service-learning programs with supportive resource centers in African educational institutions.
  
  
• We work with local communities in developing and implementing significant collaborative development projects that address their own needs.
  
  
• We work with a network of international partners supportive of the social, economic, and political development objectives of African countries.
