Fahamu has a vision of the world where people organise to emancipate themselves from all forms of oppression, recognise their social responsibilities, respect each other’s differences, and realise their full potential.
Pambazuka News
Fahamu publishes the prize-winning weekly electronic news and information forum for social justice in Africa, Pambazuka News. It is produced by a pan-African community of some 1,000 citizens and organisations – academics, policy makers, social activists, women’s organisations, civil society organisations, writers, artists, poets, bloggers, and commentators.
Advocacy
Fahamu’s advocacy work aims to support human rights and social justice movements by promoting the innovative use of information and communications technologies and by stimulating debate, discussion and analysis.
Publications
Fahamu publications provide a unique source of policy analysis from within Africa, written in an accessible style and from a variety of viewpoints. They are an important part of our mission to publish news and information and stimulate debate, discussion and analysis on human rights and social justice in Africa by Africans.
Fahamu courses
As part of its mission to build the capacity of African human rights and social justice movements, Fahamu develops training materials and runs courses, including by distance learning.
Fahamu provides training to strengthen the capacity of civil society organisations in Africa to promote and protect human rights and to help them become sustainable and effective organisations.
