The African Petroleum Producers' Association (APPA) is an intergovernmental
organisation created in 1987 in Lagos, Nigeria, to serve as a platform for
African petroleum producing countries to cooperate, collaborate, share knowledge
and competences. It aims to promote common policy initiatives and projects in
all facets of the petroleum industry with a view to maximising the developmental
and welfare benefits accruable from petroleum exploitation activities in the
Member Countries in particular and in Africa in general.
