4. Our 2023 Review and 2024 Plans.

What are this project's goals? How will you achieve them?

1. Mitigate and prevent factory farming in Africa

   1. Via our training program which helps individuals start their own animal advocacy organisations, directly working on factory farming on the ground.

   2. Research on the most effective and promising interventions

2. Build the African Animal Advocacy movement

   1. Inform International stakeholders and funders via research, conferences, presentations and talks.

   2. To foster inter-African relations between groups and individuals, we have contributed to setting up an African channel on Hive as well as an alumni group from our program we hope to bolster these as we iterate through our program.
      

How will this funding be used?

Specifically, it would be great for this funding to go 100% towards regranting to new African advocacy projects coming out of our program.

What are the most likely causes and outcomes if this project fails?

Causes - The training program doesn't help advocates enough, we don't raise enough money for regranting, and the outgoing projects from our program fail

Outcomes - There is little resistance to Factory farming in Africa, as the economy and populace grows, factory farming becomes displaced from US/EU to Africa and Asia.

What other funding are you or your project getting?

We are Funded by ACE, EA Funds, Craigslist and HNWI's, a lot of this covers our operational costs and overheads, but there is still a lot of (IMO) counterfactual impact to be gained from donating directly to regrant to our outgoing projects from the program.
