The US Africa Collaborative (USAC) is a global think tank, brain trust, and development partner advancing inclusive, regenerative, and people-centered solutions across Africa and its global Diaspora. We convene leaders, practitioners, scholars, artists, and institutions to co-create pathways toward smart villages, resilient cities, and thriving economies.
We envision a future where African and Diaspora communities lead the design of their own developmentârooted in culture, equity, innovation, and shared prosperity. A future where knowledge flows freely across borders, generations, and disciplines to build smart futures together.
USAC works at the intersection of:
USACâs model is cyclical and reinforcing:â¨
Together, these platforms allow USAC to operate as more than a convenor â we function as a collaborative infrastructure for long-term, place-based, and people-centered impact.
The US Africa Collaborative (USAC) advances U.S.âAfrica collaboration through a connected ecosystem of convenings, partnerships, research, and implementation platforms. Our work is designed to move ideas from dialogue to action while remaining grounded in equity, place, and people.
We operate through three integrated pillars â each reinforcing the others and translating collaboration into measurable impact.
