The NOA has an ultimate goal to promote the cultural and the philosophical spheres of African life. Therefore history, religion, archaeology, ethnography, ecosystem, linguistics, arts and music, medicine and everything that the African expresses as part of his/her life which might have been under represented globally are projected under NOA.
African Traditional and contemporary festivals are brought to the limelight through television, radio and the internet. Through the promotion of African studies and Pan Africanism subjects through academic research, dialogues, journals, books NOA addresses Africa’s problems.
NOA has as one of its objectives to dispel misconceptions about Africa and its people, and to foster understanding and respect among African peoples. Activities such as exhibitions, conferences, workshops in museums and other educational events in Africa and worldwide platforms are vehicles through which NOA disseminates its activities.
