Justice
The Africa Faith and Justice Network advocates for justice both within the US and in Africa. AFJN’s work includes educating and tackling the different forms of injustice. Read about the different ways we are empowering women to fight injustice in the communities through the Women’s Empowerment Project. AFJN also has delved deeper into systemic injustice within the US and abroad and the new movement sparked by George Floyd’s death. AFJN advocated for release of prisoners with minor offenses in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and to uphold the Constitution.
Women’s Empowerment Project
AFJN’s Women’s Empowerment Project continues to be making strides in Uganda, Nigeria, Tanzania, and Ghana. In 2021, AFJN expanded the program to include workshops in Zambia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Africa’s Digital Backbone and the Challenge of Sovereignty, Jobs, and Development 19 Dec, 2025 - Africa cannot achieve its full development potential while its digital backbone is externally controlled. Africa is rapidly adopting digital systems across public administration, finance, health, land management, taxation, and procurement. These systems promise efficiency, transparency, and improved service delivery. However, the dominant model of digitalization across the continent relies heavily on foreign-owned, foreign-managed, and foreign-maintained digital infrastructure. This reliance poses serious challenges to Africa’s economic sovereignty, job creation, innovation capacity, and long-term development prospects.
