The Resource Based Conflicts (RBC) Network is a coalition of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) that seeks to support peace building and conflict prevention efforts in the Horn and East Africa region by partnering with like-minded organisations and seeking innovative strategies for equipping CSOs with the right skills and tools to be able to make a difference in the conflict prone areas of the region. A section of CSOs from Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia, Somalia, Eritrea and Sudan have collectively set up a regional network as a strategy for building synergies towards a coordinated approach for tackling regional conflicts as well as managing the impacts of existing Resource Based Conflicts (RBCs) in the Horn of Africa and East Africa.

Future Agricultures Consortium is a multidisciplinary and independent learning alliance of academic researchers and practitioners involved in African agriculture. We aim to encourage dialogue and the sharing of good practice by policy makers and opinion formers in Africa on the role of agriculture in broad based growth. Collectively we offer a responsive mode of working, so we can engage with policy debates and issues as they arise

Currently the Consortium consists of over 20 researchers from African and UK institutions focussing on Kenya, Ethiopia and Malawi. However, in our new phase of work, 2010 - 2013, FAC will expand to work in over ten countries across Africa, involving over 50 researchers from African and UK institutions.

It has the following website: http://www.future-agricultures.org

Together 4 Africa is a coalition of UK registered charities working with local grassroots organisations in Africa. Members work together as ‘a partnership of equals’ for a common purpose. Through collaboration, the sharing of resources, knowledge and skills we aim to strengthen the financial and organisational capacity and impact of our African partners and focus the public’s attention on the huge difference our partners’ organisations make in their respective fields

We also want to bring to the attention of the public, Trusts and other service and financial providers, the excellent and cost effective work done by the Trustees, volunteers and other core people of small UK charities, without whom their African partners would either not exist, or would struggle to offer any of the improvements they are presently making to the lives of thousands of people.
