WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
As the first transnationally oriented project of Manos Visibles, AfroInnova looks to build Diasporic networks in a quest for common references and development models.
WHAT ARE WE LOOKING
Our corporation's purport to meet structural needs of the Diasporic populations is shaped by a community innovation perspective.
THE AFRICAN DIASPORA…WHAT IS IT?
The African diaspora is defined as the worldwide dispersion of original African populations. Although we look forward to connect with organizations in Africa and other regions of the world, the first phase of AfroInnova aims to construct an America-centered agenda.
