Africa is being reinvented by an emerging new generation who refuse to be daunted by Africa's familiar litany of challenges and instead believe an exciting future beckons. The African Cotton and Textile Industries Federation (ACTIF) believes in this future and we're excited to support solutions that positively impact the social, environmental and economic wellbeing of this continent.
