The Canada for Africa Group (CANAFGROUP) Advocates for spaces where social justice thrives through meaningful and equitable partnerships exist between communities in Canada and across Africa.
CanafGroup aims to strengthen meaningful knowledge exchange and collaboration between Canadian and African communities by supporting bottom up, community driven international development initiatives that promote dignity, resilience, and shared prosperity.
CFA’s vision is to increase Canada’s leadership role on the African continent by leveraging black Canadian participation and expertise.
We work to promote women and youth empowerment, to encourage them in contributing to the development of the African continent.
We strive to represent in the world and where we live the values of diversity, inclusion, humanism and democracy that characterize Canada. These values are reflected in our internal governance and how we conduct business.

At the founding of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) in 1963, HM Mwambutsa IV, King of Burundi, named what Africa needed with clarity: road, communication systems, education, industries, and institutions. He also said clearly that the only way to get there was together.
He was not speaking to governments alone. He was speaking about people. The communities that roads would connect, the children that schools would educate, the workers that industries would employ, and the future generations who would one day live in the Africa being decided in that room.
Civil Society has always been the thread connecting those decisions to the people they are meant to serve. It is what we at ECOSOCC exist to strengthen.
As we count down to AfricaDay on 25 May, we’re proud to be part of the African Union’s continental campaign “Africa’s Resources, Positioning and The Future”, sharing the words of the leaders who started this journey and reflecting on the Africa their vision is still building.
