Who We Are
About Africa Sphere
Initiative
Building a groundbreaking grassroots coalition that spans all eleven Nile riparian countries.
The Mission
We reject top-down development and diplomatic deadlock, forging instead authentic connections between farming communities, youth, and local organizations.
We reject top-down development and diplomatic deadlock, forging instead authentic connections between farming communities, youth, and local organizations who share far more in common than the political rhetoric that divides them.
Guided by our motto “People Matter,” we believe the most sustainable solutions to the Nile’s complex challenges will emerge from those who live along the river—farmers and communities who understand its rhythms with an intimacy no government can claim. At its heart, people-to-people relations embody a shared vision of prosperity, cooperation, and peaceful economic integration.
Through practical collaboration, youth empowerment, community-driven media, and grassroots advocacy, we’re building a shared vision where the world’s longest river becomes what it was always meant to be: a source of life and opportunity for all.
Our Vision
Our Vision is a united Nile Basin where the world's longest river is a source of shared prosperity, not conflict. We see a future where the farmers, women, and youth who live along the river lead its transformation—a future of collaborative economic integration, where cross-border communities thrive through their own innovation, interconnectedness, and stewardship.
