TrustAfrica works with partner organizations in all five subregions of Africa and the diaspora. However, we do not fund local or national initiatives, with the exception of a few very small grants for capacity building. Instead, we focus on regional partnerships that promote cooperation across borders and advance regional solutions.

Central Africa Eastern Africa and the Horn North Africa Southern Africa West Africa Africa-wide African Diaspora Southern Africa Our work in Southern Africa encompasses efforts to stem the flow of small arms and light weapons, advance inclusive policies on citizenship and identity, and sway the African Union and the Pan-African Parliament to take an informed and consistent stand on issues of debt and trade. One of our partners in the region is working on the harmonization of African languages, an effort that has already prompted key African leaders to embrace the use of African languages. Another research institute in the region received support to develop and monitor standards and indicators for peace and democratic governance in Africa. Learn about specific grants in Southern Africa.
