AFRICE works to revive cultural practices of Indigenous knowledge, strengthen and empower food conservation, and regenerate ecosystems and protect biodiversity in local communities.

One of the focus areas for AFRICE is the revival of knowledge, practices, customary law and governance traditions. This is achieved through implementing Community Dialogues, Intercommunity Exchanges, Training of Community Animators, Paralegal and legal training, Community eco-cultural mapping and calendar trainings, Community Constitutions and Community Ecological Governance Plans,

This provides them with the foundation from which to develop a set of written materials – community constitutions, customary laws and plans.  These documents provide evidence of their history and relationship with their traditional territories, their sacred sites and their pre-colonial governance systems, as well as their plans and the assertion of their rights.

Community Ecological governance is the bedrock that needs to be strengthened for achieving community and ecosystem resilience. This can be achieved through accompanying communities to revive and protect indigenous knowledge, seed and food systems, sacred natural sites and their community governance systems; the passing of knowledge between generations; restoring cultural identity – especially among women; and re-weaving respectful relationships within the community and with the Earth.
