Language access is a core value of the coalition. All meetings are conducted in the four languages that most Africans and people of African Descent speak across the globe which is Portuguese, Spanish, French, and English.
Demystifying the UN
The coalition provides a space for mutual learning and support in navigating advocacy at the United Nations, which can often be confusing and inaccessible.
