The NILE African Development Organisation is an advocacy coalition of African Diaspora communities dedicated to social justice, civic participation and empowerment of African migrant and refugees in Yorkshire & The Humber (United Kingdom).

As the legitimate representative voice of the diverse African migrant and refugee community, The NILE works to:

  • Enhance civic participation and empowerment of African immigrants and refugees;

  • Provide leadership and organizational capacity training for African community-based organizations through the Community Leadership Development Program;

  • Advocate on behalf of the African community through democratic and inclusive organizational structures, as well as partnership with other immigrant rights organizations;

  • Engage in activities that promote the cultural, educational and economic empowerment of African immigrants and refugees;

  • Strive to dispel uncomplimentary stereotypes and promote positive image of Africans through various educational seminars, workshops, conferences, and publications;

  • Serve as the African Community Resource Clearinghouse wherein constituents gather, share information and experience exchange views, and coordinate organizational and individual activities for satisfying common interest;

  • Facilitate access to community development resources and employment opportunities;

  • Endeavor to identify ways and means to provide assistance to needy constituents; 

  • Promote the teaching of African history and culture and, in doing so, develop and preserve  them by all possible means;
