    Project Description:

    The main goal of the Projet de Centre d’Appui aux Reseaux des Organisation des Femmes du Gabon (CENAF) project was to improve the participation of women and their organizations in political, economic and social governance in Gabon through networking, institutional and human capacity development in order to professionalize the voices of women.

The remarkable achievements ACBF has registered over the past 26 years is not by accident in our opinion. They have come through hard work, dedication, commitment, purposeful leadership, support from the member countries as well as productive partnership building.

Africa needs ACBF as much, probably more now, than at the time it was created in 1991.
