Holding Kleptocrats Accountable & Recovering Stolen Funds for Africa’s Betterment
Africa Mbele (pronounced m-BELL-ay: Swahili for forward) was birthed out of numerous conversations among concerned Diasporans’ about these dire conditions facing Africa.
Africa is full of vibrancy in its heritage, culture, resources, and unsurpassed natural wonder. Yet extreme corrupt practices and kleptocracy continue to plague Africa as an underlying epidemic. The UN estimates that Africa loses about $88.6 billion of its gross domestic product (GDP), annually due to illicit financial flows.
We plan to build a diasporic movement to leverage recoverable assets by investing these resources in innovate projects to improve food production, energy access, communications, water and waste management, education, and health and wellbeing services for the greater good of the most vulnerable in Africa.
Sustainable Development Goals
We will establish a framework to identify and recover stolen and other misappropriated funds
We will strengthen accountability and impact through a global collaborative strategic private-public partnerships
We will educate, mobilize, and activate the approximately 174+ million in the Disaspora to actively engage in a collaborative global network to influence the recovery and impact of sustainable infrastructure projects.
We will create from a quasi-endowment style model a fund aligned with an investment strategy shaped by environmental, social, or governance (ESG) factors for these recoverable assets and then will disburse them for the completion of special infrastructure projects throughout Africa.
