Advocates for Community Alternatives helps West African communities that are threatened by the destructive impacts of extractives-led development to take control of their own futures. We do this by working with communities to design their own sustainable development plans and advocate to achieve those plans. And we build networks of lawyers and other experts to help the communities’ plans come to fruition.
