Friends of the Earth Africa brings together groups throughout Africa to participate in international programs and develop initiatives to strengthen campaigning in the region.
FoE member groups in Africa are particularly active in community-based forest management; extractive industries and African peoples’ need for access to clean renewable energy; food sovereignty and the struggle against GMOs; and the dangers of agrofuels expansion in the region.
In 2008, FoE groups in Africa hosted coordinators for the FoEI Forests & Biodiversity program and the FoEI GMO campaign.
Read about their achievements on the national and regional levels in 2008 in this section.
