Africa Global village is a community of african bloggers  around the world who work together to bring you reports from blogs and citizen media everywhere, with emphasis on voices that tell the story from an African Prespective.

We plan to build the Africa Global  village project into a very powerful african voice. One that will influence african decision makers to always base their judgment and conduct on fundamental truths and principles.

The Global village  reach

Our Management style will not be based  on preconceived notions.  We will seek  renowned african scholars and decision makers in Africa to share their vision and the way forward for africa
