The Joint Council for Africa is an organization whose aim is to promote a nuanced understanding of Africa through an online magazine. The magazine offers unique stories, reportage, analysis and commentary covering various aspects of African culture, social life, politics and economics. The organization works to strengthen the conversation about Africa in Norway, and emphasizes independent journalism that follows press ethical guidelines.
Through collaboration with innovative writers and experts on Africa, the Joint Council for Africa seeks to share knowledge and information that contributes to equitable development. Voluntary efforts are an important part of the organisation's working method, and they engage the public through various activities and selections. The Joint Council for Africa also aims to challenge conditions and structures that prevent fair development both on the continent and globally.
