In order to support the networking activities and information flow
within the national or regional organic movements in Africa, the Africa
Office works through Contact Points across Sub-Saharan Africa. Each of
them represents or is the coordinating office
for a national Organic Agriculture movement or national or regional
organic network.
Contact Points provide inputs for the Africa Organic News e-newsletter and the IFOAM website and highlight important organic events and projects taking place in their region. Occasionally, Contact Points may also represent IFOAM in specific events or perform advocacy work in coordination with the IFOAM Head Office. Contact Points are provided with PR materials from the IFOAM Head Office and have access to the MemberWeb and the Internet Training Platform of IFOAM. They can share the materials and information within their own network and use them for their lobbying activities.
The following Contact Points are currently established:
