alignAfrica is an Ethiopia-based, Africa-focused, rights-based organization advancing community-led development and humanitarian action.

Our work focuses on six thematic areas: Education & Skills; Health & Nutrition; Gender Equality, Protection & Inclusion; Humanitarian Response & Resilience; Livelihoods & Economic Empowerment; and Climate Adaptation & WASH.
