Africa-UK Branding Guidelines
There are a number of brands and partners involved in Africa-UK. This can become confusing for
those engaged with the initiative. It is therefore crucial that we use consistent branding to
encourage greater recognition amongst the African diaspora and decision makers of the role Africa-
UK is playing.
The Africa-UK leaflet contains the logos of all organisations involved in Africa-UK (funders,
implementers, delivery partners and associate partners). These branding guidelines should be used
for all other materials (printed/ electronic/ on-line etc).

Activities led by Delivery Partner
Where a specific delivery partner is leading on an activity then the additional wording can be added
at the start of the material.
This event/ area of work is being delivered by XX (insert delivery partner name) as part of the Africa-
UK initiative (followed by the Africa-UK information above).
It may also be appropriate to place the delivery partner logo alongside the AFFORD logo – this is left
to the discretion of AFFORD and the delivery partner.
Associate partners:
On some materials AFFORD and the associate partner(s) may want to add the associate partners
details and logos. This is left to the discretion of AFFORD.
Activities which are led by, or involve, the associate partners should have the relevant additional
partner logo added to the materials. Where the associate partners are leading the activity then the
additional wording should be:
