What we do
The International Alliance on Natural Resources in Africa is a network of non-governmental and community-based organisations, collectively striving for more just and sustainable use of natural resources in Africa. By combining community organising, research and evidence-based advocacy, our work aims to protect the rights of poor and excluded people to equitable benefits, that will lead to more inclusive development in Africa.
Vision
To create a United Africa where poor and excluded people can enjoy their rights to equitable benefits from natural resources in a sustainable way!
Mission
We employ research, lobbying, advocacy, and campaigning to empower and enable social, environmental, and economic justice for excluded communities in the natural resources sector.
