Running a capacity-building program for African animal advocates to help advocates start their own projects including Operations, Intervention selection, Research, Communications, EA Training as well as providing seed funding via re-granting.
More broadly signal boosting the African animal movement and trying to further international stakeholder and African stakeholder engagement, build funding, talent and resource infrastructure.
Do check out more details and information on our website, the above is a rather broad summary: https://www.animaladvocacyafrica.org/.
Mitigate and prevent factory farming in Africa
Via our training program which helps individuals start their own animal advocacy organisations, directly working on factory farming on the ground.
Build the African Animal Advocacy movement
Inform International stakeholders and funders via research, conferences, presentations and talks.
To foster inter-African relations between groups and individuals, we have contributed to setting up an African channel on Hive as well as an alumni group from our program we hope to bolster these as we iterate through our program.
Specifically, it would be great for this funding to go 100% towards regranting to new African advocacy projects coming out of our program.

Our team is an excellent group of passionate animal advocates and EA's. 2 Charity Entrepreneurship Incubatees, one AIM research program fellow and an incredible project co-ordinator.

Causes - The training program doesn't help advocates enough, we don't raise enough money for regranting, and the outgoing projects from our program fail
Outcomes - There is little resistance to Factory farming in Africa, as the economy and populace grows, factory farming becomes displaced from US/EU to Africa and Asia.
We are Funded by ACE, EA Funds, Craigslist and HNWI's, a lot of this covers our operational costs and overheads, but there is still a lot of (IMO) counterfactual impact to be gained from donating directly to regrant to our outgoing projects from the program.
