Founded more than 40 years ago, ACORD is one of the oldest and largest Pan-African organisations with work across East & Horn, Central, Southern and West Africa. ACORD supports active citizenship and more responsive institutions contributing to a peaceful, inclusive and prosperous Africa. Our grassroots level approach ensures that solutions are community owned and led, driving program efficacy and sustainability. In collaboration with communities, ACORD addresses the root causes of poverty by focusing on three core services: Livelihoods Resilience; Conflict Resolution & Peacebuilding; and Rights and Responsibilities promotion. ACORD's vision is a society in which all citizens are able to achieve their rights and fulfil their responsibilities. ACORD's mission is to work in common cause with people who are poor and those who have been denied their rights to obtain social justice and development and be part of locally rooted citizen movements. Our work is guided by a number of fundamental values and working principles, chief amongst these is our belief that people themselves are the primary actors in their own development. Through the power of collective action, African citizens have the ability to transform their future. ACORD works in partnership and alliance with local communities, government authorities, private and non-state organisations worldwide towards social justice and equality.
