Welcome to the Anani-Afele (A&A) Network; the home of Blended Knowledge Solutions that are transformational and sustainable. The Network is an entity of development professionals and finance experts focused on harnessing blended knowledge and information for sustainable development in Africa (undp.org).

The Network originated with the inaugural Global Knowledge for Development (GKD ‘97) Forum in Toronto, Canada in 1997 leading to the formation of the Global Knowledge Partnership (globalknowledgepartnership.org), and later, the Global Knowledge Partnership Foundation (gkpfoundation.org), among other initiatives of the development community which have helped developing countries prepare for the information society. The Network has been pivotal in the success of the GKP related efforts.

Since then, the Network has grown in leaps and bounds through professional engagements at the World Bank Group (worldbank.org), the African Development Bank (afdb.org), and in many countries on 4 continents: Africa – Ghana, Senegal, Nigeria, Togo, Benin, Cote d’Ivoire, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Zambia, South Africa; Europe: United Kingdom, France, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, Italy, Macedonia, Kosovo, Serbia; Asia – Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, Korea; North America – Canada, United States.
