Overview

ACBA provides a platform for African CSOs to speak with one voice on issues of sustainable use of nature that contribute to conservation and equitable benefits from nature. The Alliance, whose members are African CSOs, facilitates sharing of lessons, creates opportunities for collaboration, and influences national, regional, continental and global biodiversity policy processes and practices. As a network, ACBA mobilizes the strengths of its diverse membership to work in strategic and efficient ways and speak and act collaboratively in an inclusive manner. ACBA highlights the collective contribution of African CSOs towards sustainable use of the continent’s biodiversity through good practices, stories, case studies and policy briefs. It serves as a platform for exchanging and sharing knowledge and information and as a marketplace for Alliance members to create opportunities and partnerships that can enhance their work at their community and respective country levels. The network enables African CSOs to mutually support each other and identify areas of common action.
