Research & Public Policy
We develop and interpret research relevant to African/Black communities, translating evidence into accessible analysis for advocacy, strategic planning, and community development.
Our Work
Research. Memory. Capacity. Action.
Tabono advances the social, political, economic, and cultural priorities of African Canadians through Afrikan-centred analysis and community-accountable practice.
Our approach
Grounded in collaboration and accountability.
Our work is explicitly anti-oppressive, anti-racist, and multidisciplinary. We begin with community knowledge and build toward practical change.
Archives & Community Memory
We support the archiving and documentation of Afrikan/Black histories, cultural records, and community narratives so knowledge remains available across generations.
Community Capacity Building
We strengthen community organizations, programs, facilitators, and emerging leaders through training, reflection, planning, and practical tools.
Community Advocacy
We address issues including anti-Black racism, child welfare, equity, and accountability, working to influence policy and systems affecting Black communities.
