- Africa_Contact abstract "Africa Contact is a Danish NGO, formed in 1978 as South Africa Contact, by a number of political parties, trade unions and other organizations to fight colonialism. The organization initially worked to abolish apartheid in South Africa.Africa Contact has approximately 500 members, a democratic and flat structure, an annual general meeting, an elected Executive Committee and several work groups. The project team is responsible for the daily running of the organisation, while the overall responsibility for projects and donor contracts rests with the executive committee. The active members are at the heart of the organisation, and work voluntarily and unpaid. The organization has two main focus areas: capacity building and empowerment of African grassroots movements and political lobbying / advocacy (in Africa as well as Denmark), and campaigning. Africa Contact uses a rights based approach. Other focus areas are: social and economic rights, democracy, changing political power relations, an equitable distribution of wealth, and advocacy and information work in Denmark. Trade, natural resources and migration are further areas with which Africa Contact works.Africa Contact’s projects receive government funding through Danida. The projects are carried out with partners in Sub-Saharan Africa (South Africa, Zambia, Swaziland, and from 2010 in Zimbabwe and Uganda) and in Western Sahara. The ideas for, and formulation of, these projects come from the African partners, which is meant to ensure that the partnership between Africa Contact and the partner organisation is based on trust and a common vision of development work. Many African civil society organizations are weak and poorly organized. This is partially due to many Southern African countries being young democracies without sufficiently developed systems to ensure equality before the law and justice. Africa Contact believes that supporting civil society movements and popular movements in Africa in improving their political influence and ability to mobilize, including giving people the knowledge and capacity required to enable them to act themselves, is vitally important for the democratization process and in creating positive political change.".
