About Afford
AFFORD is a charity evolving into a social enterprise to drive entrepreneurial agenda and capacity of the African Diaspora.
Afford Description
Since its formation 15 years ago, AFFORD has put the issue of migration and development on the policy agenda. It has developed an unrivalled knowledge and expertise on issues impacting on the African diaspora such as remittances, brain drain, skills transfers, etc
It has a proven track in working with the African diaspora and uses its expertise on the diaspora and its relationship to development in providing consultancy services to various organizations
We believe in harnessing the diaspora and other partners to invest, time, money, know-how, to help power the engines of wealth creation that will produce self-sustainable and profitable communities, instead of communities waiting for the next aid cheque.

We would LOVE to hear your views about African artefacts in UK cultural institutions.
As the United Kingdom’s foreign policy goals shift towards a vision of a global Britain outside the European Union, how issues around cultural patrimony and heritage of formerly colonised communities are handled will increasingly come under scrutiny.... Within this context, #returnoftheicons is 1. Conducting a survey to gather information on existing projects and how we can support them. 2. Organising focus group discussions to map public awareness and sentiment on African artefacts in UK cultural institutions.
We invite you to join us for a 1 hour online focus group to discuss. Please register your interest: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/LV7Q28V< br> See More
