Obama: Change Policy in Africa

To: The President of the United States

Started by: Institute for Policy Studies

 

Join a coalition of African advocacy groups in asking Barack Obama to alter our policy towards the continent.

A just Africa policy would reform structures for economic recovery to reflect interdependence and cooperation.

It would restructure U.S. foreign assistance agencies to foster cooperative engagement with other countries and international agencies to confront global problems.

It would integrate regional collaboration and bilateral partnerships.

And a just Africa policy would reduce military spending and investment.

Tell our president to help end the crises occuring in Africa by installing a policy more focused on human rights, multilateralism, and diplomacy.
