Africa Action produces a range of resources on African affairs and Africa policy.

These resources analyze U.S. relations with Africa, particularly on the key issues of our campaigns. They help promote U.S. policies that respond to Africa’s challenges and support African struggles for peace, development and human rights. The resources we produce also reveal and challenge the system of global apartheid that keeps Africa poor and marginalized.

Africa Action resources and information are divided into the sections listed on the left of this page.
