About Afri-CEIN
Our Story
Afri-CEIN was born from a deep belief: that coastal communities are not passive recipients of policy, but active shapers of Africa’s future. Founded by governance and resilience experts who have worked across Africa's coastline, our platform emerged to connect grassroots knowledge with policy power.
We aim to dismantle silos between the beach and the boardroom — advocating for a future where inclusive governance, climate justice, and blue prosperity go hand in hand.
Our Mission
To drive equity, amplify coastal voices, and shape policies that advance inclusive, sustainable, and resilient coastal development across Africa.
Our Vision
A just and resilient coastal Africa where communities thrive, ecosystems are protected, and governance is inclusive from the shoreline to the cabinet table
