AfriNetic Professional Network

AfriNetic is the professional network for Africa, its diaspora and everyone who works with them. Ask questions, share what you know, find mentors and opportunities, and be known for your work.

Built for professional networking across Africa and the diaspora: for professionals, entrepreneurs, freelancers and students, in English and French.

ASK, ANSWER AND SHARE WHAT YOU KNOW
• A post says what it is for: an Ask, an offer of help, a resource, an introduction, an event or a poll.
• The feed is newest first. Anything placed above it says why it is there, such as an Ask waiting for an answer you can give.
• An Ask is answered when its author marks the reply that helped.
• Thanks tells the author alone that a post or a reply helped. No count of it is shown to anyone.

BE KNOWN FOR YOUR WORK
• Your profile shows what you do, what you offer and what you are working towards.
• No follower counts, no endorsements, no rankings: your answers and your work speak for you.
• Under a post, when you are related to its author, one line says how.
• Keep a learning plan of your own and invite a mentor; you choose what they see.

NETWORK WITH PURPOSE
• Reach out about the post that brought you. Your request carries your reason, in your own words, and can open with a greeting.
• Ask for mentorship, collaboration or career advice, or simply connect.
• They accept or decline. Contact details are never shared automatically.
• Message your connections one to one. No read receipts, no typing or online status.

CIRCLES
• Start in The Courtyard: name the person you need, and a member who can vouch makes the introduction.
• Office Hours, Work in Progress and Across the Line each meet around a weekly ritual. The house rule: share from experience; sell nothing unless asked.
• Start a circle of your own.

OPPORTUNITIES AND PROGRAMMES
• Find openings shared by members and organisations, and save a search to hear about new ones.
• Apply on the organisation's own site, or in AfriNetic when a programme accepts applications.
• Join programme workshops, mentoring sessions and meetings in AfriNetic Square.

YOUR PHONE RINGS ONLY WHEN SOMEONE TALKS TO YOU
• A message, a reply, a mention or an introduction can ring your phone. A like or a repost never does.
• Notifications are your choice, and you can turn them off at any time.

MADE FOR EVERY CONNECTION
• Data Saver holds images until you ask for them.
• In English and French. Change your language at any time.
• Also on the web at app.afrinetic.com, with the same account.

YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS
• Free for members, for good. Your data is never sold.
• Nothing you view, tap or linger on decides where a post appears, and money never buys a place.
• Report a post or a member, mute words, or block someone. Reports are reviewed by a person.
• Download, correct or delete your data yourself in Privacy Center.

Screens show a demonstration community; its people and organisations are fictional.
