AFROINNNOVA is a platform of innovative organizations and leaders of the African Diaspora, which seeks to generate strategic connections that promote concrete actions for the visibility and empowerment of African and Afro-descendant populations, within the framework of the Afro-descendant decade, 2015-2024 proclaimed by the United Nations. Our ultimate goal is to contribute to our own renewed vision of global afro-diasporic power. Since 2015, we have carried out a process of mapping, analyzing, and reflecting on the dynamics of action of the African Diaspora in the world, and from there, learning to generate other mechanisms that allow us to strengthen ties and power relations to rethink new ways. of incidence in the decade of the Afro-descendants.
For the current year, we have held three meetings in which we have brought together leaders from more than 11 nations of the African Diaspora in the world. We have also mapped more than 1,000 organizations that join the analyzes and reports of each meeting. AFROINNOVA members are leaders who have platforms and mobilization capacity. Leaders who read reality together, take stock of changes and challenges, reinvent complexity, and contribute to the creation of a common future, beyond their individual leadership exercises.
In essence, AFROINNOVA is a platform that seeks to know and recognize itself and thus, from joint learning and strategic collaboration, multiply the factors of transformation and effective empowerment for Afro-descendant and African communities.
