Background Information

"RAINBO was started in 1994 by a group of African immigrants in USA in order to impact on U.S. private and government funding in Africa and the United Nations. RAINBO is an African led international non-governmental organisation working on issues of women's empowerment, gender, reproductive health, sexual autonomy and freedom from violence as central components of the African development agenda. Now based in London, RAINBO's work is aimed at influencing European development assistance to Africa whilst taking advantage of the closer proximity to Africa. RAINBO is a Northern organisation focusing solely on Africa and led by African women." Source: www.rainbo.org
