AGEN (www.agentz.org) is a pan-African platform committed to advancing human rights, gender justice, inclusive development, and community empowerment. Rooted in affirmative action, AGEN mobilizes diverse stakeholders—from grassroots communities to diaspora professionals—to co-create sustainable solutions that address systemic inequalities. Its core program areas span human rights, gender mainstreaming, socio-economic empowerment, sustainable rural development, and poverty reduction, all designed to foster equity and resilience across Sub-Saharan Africa.

Through strategic interventions in agriculture, agroecology, entrepreneurship, education, and public health, AGEN builds institutional capacity and promotes participatory governance. Flagship initiatives like the Farmer Field and Business School (FFBS) and Rotating Credit and Savings Associations exemplify its commitment to local innovation and financial inclusion. By integrating record-keeping, water and sanitation, and transformative education, AGEN positions itself as a catalyst for community-led change and Africa’s self-determined progress.
