About LoP
LEAGUE OF PROS (“LoP”), is an apolitical, voluntary think-and-do tank. Its identity is rooted in the symbolism of ancient African Adinkra motifs: the Adinkrahene (representing greatness and leadership) and Besa Seke (signifying power and abundance).
Adinkrahene
(“Chief symbol”)
This is supported by the very colours of LoP: olive green which stands for “peace and tranquility” whereas gold is associated with “wealth, illumination, courage, magic and wisdom”.
LoP seeks to unite professionals from across Africa, the African Diaspora, and Indigenous communities worldwide. Our goal is to form a think-and-do tank that seeks to build strategic alliances for African advancement.
LoP will be working in collaboration with governments, businesses, traditional leaders, and civil societies, aligning its efforts with global and regional development goals such as the UN Agenda 2030, AU Agenda 2063, South Africa’s National Development Plan 2030, and United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
LoP seeks to unite professionals from across Africa, the African Diaspora, and Indigenous communities worldwide.
