The African Writers Trust (AWT) was established in 2009 as "a non-profit entity which seeks to coordinate and bring together African writers in the Diaspora and writers on the continent to promote sharing of skills and other resources, and to foster knowledge and learning between the two groups."[1]

The founder and current director of AWT is Goretti Kyomuhendo, an internationally recognized novelist with a distinguished career as the first Programmers Coordinator for FEMRITE – Uganda Women Writers' Association.[2]

African Writers Trust is governed by its advisory board, currently (as of 2017) composed of Zakes Mda, Susan Nalugwa Kiguli, Ayeta Anne Wangusa, Helon Habila, Leila Aboulela, Mildred Barya, and Aminatta Forna.[3]
