Africa Now

Mission

Africa Now is an international development organisation tackling poverty in Africa. We support sustainable development for rural Africans by promoting ethical trade, and by supporting small-scale producers and farmers to take advantage of market opportunities and achieve a decent standard of living.

Programs

Africa Now’s country programs are currently running in Kenya, Zambia and Zimbabwe, providing opportunities for farmers and small businesses to develop products and services that they can sell to a guaranteed market for a fair price. These programs compliment the organisation’s Ethical Business Services, which engages with the private sector to encourage ethical trading practices that benefit small-scale producers. As part of this, Africa Now undertakes ethical audits and producer training.
