ADEA initiative

Our mission is to nurture, support, and elevate  African diaspora innovations to further the development of the African continent. 

At ADEA, we make it possible for the African diaspora to give back and help the African continent. The African diaspora is in a unique position to help. They understand the challenges people face in Africa and have developed the advanced knowledge, skills, resources, and network that can make a difference.

How do I become a part of this initiative?

We welcome any individuals leading or involved in social impact projects in Africa to join the ADEA Community of Practice. Individuals living in the US who are interested in the advancement of the African people are encouraged to bring their talents, time, and resources to advance this vision. Contact Emmanuel Owusu at Emmanuel@africanbn.org for more information.
