Priority Africa Network In 2003, a group of individuals gathered in Oakland, California
to establish a Network committed to upholding the history of struggle for Africa justice. That
meeting, organized under the title "Making Africa a Priority Agenda in the U.S." came to
define our name and our mission. Since its establishment, PAN has organized numerous
forums that address the critical need to understand contemporary challenges in Africa. We
work in collaboration with partners and allies in Africa and the U.S. who uphold the same
principles of recognizing the dignity, culture and history of a continent and its people.
