It is unnecessary to paint a picture of contemporary Africa lest we fall prey to Afro-pessimism. On the other hand it is worth keeping in mind that this continent is today at a crucial turning point in its history in the context of the globalisation of the world economy in which it must play its part.

Avoiding unending talk and declarations lacking constructive proposals which are not put into practice, Africactions ( an international non-governmental organisation doing humanitary and development aid work) aims to lay foundations for Africa to be respected , prosperous and brotherly.

Basing itself on the fact that the expatriate African elites almost always maintain close links with their countries of origin and wish very much to make themselves useful to their continent, Africactions considers that it is beneficial and indeed urgent to mobilise and to act without delay wherever we find ourselves in the world because the situation in Africa demands it.

The new generation of committed Africans which we mean to include all those, whatever their nationality, love this continent and wish to work for the well-being of its population, are ready to provide the necessary assistance into order to be done with the assistance mentality, and to favour the integration of Africa into the competitive world economy. It is a matter of stressing what Africans can do by themselves rather than what others can do to help them.

It is new dynamic that inspires the projects of Africactions.

We are resolutely optimistic.

We are resolutely optimistic and positive, we remain convinced that without Africans who are proud of themselves, and a continent confident in itself, African cannot develop. We must believe in Africa, hence the pressing need to give Africans reason to hope, to avoid guilty resignation irreversibly establishing itself.

TAKE ACTION SO THAT AFRICA CAN WIN RESPECT
