What is the African Community of Practice (AfCoP)?

Do you want to learn about new management approaches to achieve results on the ground in Africa? As members of the AfCoP, we strive to make our organizations more effective and accountable to ensure that they improve the lives of our fellow citizens. We are a bilingual virtual community of over 1,400 members from 87 countries, 41 of which are African. We work for African governments, civil society, and as independent results experts in the field. Our mission is to build African capacity to manage for development results through sharing experiences, networking and building strong learning relationships between practitioners in Africa and around the world. Our members bring this dialogue and knowledge-sharing to their countries through national AfCoP chapters across the continent.
