AFORD is a Sudanese independent, and not-for-profit non-governmental organization (NGO) based in Uganda, Kampala, and registered in Uganda and Sudan according to Ugandan and Sudanese laws and regulations. AFORD is an individual membership organization that brings together intellectuals, human rights activists, and pro-democracy activists from all over Africa. The AFORD collaborates with a variety of grassroots activists and civil society partners active in the communities, countries, and regions of its priority intervention and work.

Our main objective is to promote human rights, non-discrimination, and socioeconomic development; on the other hand, we endeavor to support regional and international efforts to arrest armed conflicts through peaceful means and to address the needs of the most affected communities in the countries and regions of our priority intervention and work.
