We place Africa at the center of our actions in order to deconstruct the clichés ultimatly and prejudices of which it is a victim, to flip the narrative.
Scope
Africa has about fifty five countries which are all endowed with raw materials and creative forces. The objective thus is not to focus on a particular country. The Bizim Afrika Association wants to mobilize all holders of means, materials, human, financial and know-how in order to bring them to discover the potentialities owned by Africans and encourage them to participate in the development of the continent by refusing to remain spectators in the face of foreigners.
Target audience
Bizim Afrika aims to bring together the resources of various partners in one place to help individuals and organizations in the African Diaspora get the information they need to engage effectively as development actors in Türkiye. It targets to bring together the largest number of members of African diasporas in Türkiye, as well as leading economic actors wishing to invest in Turkish-African co- development.
