African-Canadian Development and Prevention Network

Mission and objectives

The vision of the African-Canadian Development and Prevention Network is for a healthy and fully integrated multicultural Canadian community. The purpose of the ACDP Network is to foster solidarity and inter-organizational collaboration across sectors that influence the health of the black community.

The mission of the ACDP Network is to:

- Promote a thriving multicultural Canadian community
- Support the Strengthening of Black families
- Foster the mobilization of community assets
- Facilitate capacity building
- Promote healthy practices and best prevention models
-Develop economic opportunities, education, housing and cultural pride

Cultural framework

The Networks agenda is grounded on two fundamental convictions:

1. There is no substitute for strong families to ensure that Black children grow up to be capable adults.

2. The ability of Black families to raise children is often inextricably linked to conditions in their communities.

Afro-centric Principles

We embrace the NGUZO SABA (the seven principles of Kwanzaa) as the foundation principles of the ACDP Network. We believe that these principles serve to provide cultural grounding and a framework for collective action.

Kwanzaa was created to introduce and reinforce seven basic values of African culture which contribute to building and reinforcing family, community, and culture among African American people as well as Africans throughout the world.
