AGE is a non-profit, impartial,
non-partisan, civic organisation with a purpose to promote the social,
cultural and economic development of Eritrea while working for the
unconditional implementation of the Eritrea Ethiopia Border Commission
(EEBC) ruling. AGE also acts as a conduit where individual volunteers
can make their knowledge, skills and experience available for the
benefit of the country.
The group will promote the interest of Eritrea in the UK.
It will do this by mobilizing interested and committed Eritreans and
Friends of Eritrea to work towards making a tangible difference to the
life of our people and do everything possible to safeguard the
territorial integrity of Eritrea. Our guiding principle is that members
will concentrate on issues that bind them together while respecting
their differences. Objectives - Lobby and
campaign the international community in general and the British
Government in particular to put pressure on Ethiopia to immediately
implement the rulings of the Boundary Commission.
- Promote and
facilitate actions focused on defending the territorial integrity of
Eritrea that has been materialised through long struggle and upheld by
international law.
- Foster and maintain a program aimed towards
the advancement of strong bond between Eritrea and Britain. AGE will
work with relevant Eritrean/British government or non-government
agencies or groups to promote and encourage bilateral relationship on
cultural, economic and social areas.
- Strive to advance Eritrea’s
vision for economic prosperity and social cohesiveness. Engage
intellectuals and seek active participation of Eritreans and friends of
Eritrea, especially the youth, to advance the social and economic
development of Eritrea.
- Challenge any inaccurate and biased media coverage about developments in Eritrea.
- Organise seminars, workshops and exhibitions to promote the aims of the group.
- Seek partnership and develop links with relevant organisations with a view to furthering the Group’s mission.
- Identify areas of priority for action and set up functional committees or task groups to implement the objectives.
- Raise funds to implement its programmes.
