General Information

Within AFCD all that e work is done through a participatory approach making use of every member's skills and insights. To reach a unanimous agreement among AFCD team we always resort to consulting, exchanging ideas and sometimes debating over almost every single matter regarding all projects from the launching phase to their realization. By adopting a participatory approach we aim to instill and cultivate a spirit of collaboration, open mindedness, and sharing in every single team member. Furthermore, AFCD is remarkably reputed locally, nationally and internationally due to the fact that improving citizens' lifestyles lies at the heart of most of our projects. Thus, we put much focus on education as it is considered the only key to emancipation. Youths and women empowerment issues top our agendas because AFCD consider both youths and women as the backbone of societies and their empowerment will bring about fruitful results. It's really mesmerizing that recently a lot of ambitious and vigor youths have shown an inner desire to work with AFCD which feeds our team year in year out, besides the overwhelming majority of volunteers are young people who are intrinsically motivated to make their areas a safe haven where everyone learns, produces, and shares.

Mission and Objectives

AFCD is an independent association of highly ambitious youths volunteers who vowed to improve their areas, light people's path and raise their awareness about the importance of their contributions to better their living conditions. AFCD has always adopted a sort of thorough approach in the improvement of the regions within their reach; therefore, AFCD focus on the areas that affect people's daily lives on the short, mid and long term; society, economy, and environment. AFCD's volunteers are highly qualified youths who carry the heavy burden of promoting the areas to keep up with the world.  The AFCD is an independent association of young volunteers, which aims to participate in the improvement of areas such as the socio-cultural areas, educational as well as the enhancement of the regional infrastructure. Within our association, we adopt a participatory approach in all stages of the work from decision making to the launch and the realization of the work. This strategy is applied to ensure an inclusive and comprehensive approach to the work and activities carried out by the association, and also to adhere to this approach within the association to ensure the rights of the volunteers to participate in the decision-making process.
