MISSION: To Promote Democracy in Africa Through Education
and Economic Development

Alliance for Democracy in Africa, (ADA), is a Non Profit International Organisation working to encourage Africans, particularly women, children, and youth, to study, internalize, and practice the values of democracy in their societies.

It is our belief that peace and democracy can only be achieved through Education and to this end, we have implemented the following programs:

1. Women's Literacy
   Objectives: To Train Women in Literacy and Business Skills; To Build Women's Capacity for Economic Empowerment through Income Generating Activities.
   Currently,300 women are being trained in literacy, numeracy and business skills in Tallinding, Serrekunda East, Kampassa, Foni Jarrol, Dutabulu, Illiasa, Sutukonding, Wuli West and Sutukoba in Wuli East.
   

2. Early Childhood Development
   Objectives: To Train the Youth in Various Skills for Economic Empowerment and Leadership.
   We are operating two Schools in Tallinding and Sutukoba where 268 boys and girls from ages 3 to 6 are being trained how to read and write in English, etc.
   

3. Robert Cummings Institute for Governance
   This is a Civic Education program that focuses on Democracy and Good Governance, the Rule of Law and Good Governance, Media and Good Governance, Decentralization and Good Governance, Gender and Good Governance, Human Rights, Freedoms and Good Governance, Violent Conflict Prevention, Conflict Resolution, Peace Building, Capacity Building, Voter Education, Elections Observation, Conducting Violent Free Elections, the Role of Youth in Nation Building, etc.
   

4. Women's Economic Empowerment Through Income Generating:
   The organization is supporting a Women's Vegetable Garden in Sutukoba, a farming community in Wulli District, 257 miles east of Banjul. More than 700 women and their families benefit directly from this project which is now self-sustaining.
   The organization has also established Soap Making Project for 150 women in Tallinding purposely as an income generating activity. This is increasing women's income generating capacity in addition to the skills they gain from the art of soap making..
   ADA has also just established a Skills Training Center in Bundung, Serrekunda Central, to train women in sewing. Our hope is that this project, in three years time, will also become self-sustaining.
