Do you need financial assistance to attend?

Cost should never be a barrier to creating change for farmed animals.

Through the support of our donors, AVA Summit offers Travel Award Scholarships to reduce financial barriers for participation. AVA strives to ensure that advocates in need can access at least one Summit per year by providing funding at different levels. If support would make it possible for you to attend, you are encouraged to apply during the open application window. Please apply by May 1, 2026 to be considered.

Are you working to build a more compassionate future for farmed animals in Africa?

Animal advocacy in Africa has been built by people organizing within their own communities, navigating complex systems, and advancing change in ways that are culturally rooted and locally informed. AVA Summit Ghana is intentionally centering African leadership — particularly women, young advocates, and those whose voices have historically had less access to international platforms.

We are seeking proposals grounded in lived experience, practical strategy, and regional insight. This is a professional space focused on solutions: what is working, what we are learning, and how we strengthen collaboration across countries and generations.

If your work is helping move animal advocacy forward in Africa, we invite you to take the stage. Please apply by May 4, 2026 to be considered.
