A Decade of Diaspora-Led Impact and a Bold Leap Beyond Remittances

About fifteen years ago, the African Diaspora Network began as a bold idea, rooted in hope, built on community, and sustained by purpose.

We convene Africans from the continent, descendants of Africa—including African Americans and Afro-Caribbeans—and allies to create an ecosystem that nurtures entrepreneurial spirit and mobilizes intellectual and financial resources for a prosperous future. Through strategic partnerships and innovative programs, we aim to serve as a catalyst for positive change and growth in Africa, its diaspora, and global communities.
Harnessing the collective power of the global African diaspora is catalyzed to drive entrepreneurship, forge partnerships, facilitate knowledge exchange, generate social impact, and foster human capital development.
Since our founding in 2010, we have been gradually building a network which permits us to harness the global intellectual capacity of Africans in the Diaspora and friends of Africa in order to promote business and economic development across the continent and the communities in which we live.
