Our Mission Statement

The Issues We Are Tackling

ACTION ON CLIMATE CHANGE

AEFJN-UK recognises that climate change is preventing Africans from making as much progress as they might in their struggle against poverty. It is committed to seeing how lifestyles and the behaviour of multinational companies contribute to the change and, capitalising on its unique relations with the people of Africa, it aims to raise awareness of possible solutions.

WHAT ABOUT BIOFUELS?

At AEFJN-UK we encourage the development of renewable sources of energy but have specific concerns about biofuels.

THE TRADE IN SMALL ARMS

The illegal trade in small arms (armaments that can be carried) that originate in Europe and Asia is swamping African countries, facilitating civil wars there and undermining peace, security and sustainable development. It is also causing the deployment of child soldiers.
