The African Federation is proud to introduce Lucky Obiyan, our visionary CEO of TAF Governance. Listen as he shares our mission and vision for a prosperous African future. To know more about TAF, visit the TAF Website

Our theme for the month of May is
Why TAF is Needed

Building on our theme, "Why TAF is Needed, this week we are looking into the history of Pan-Africanism and its relevance, highlighting how its legacy continues to shape our collective aspirations for a prosperous, sovereign Africa.

We also address the pressing realities of our time by exploring the multifaceted challenges and issues facing Africa. From socioeconomic disparities to geopolitical complexities, our exploration examines the complex and interconnected obstacles that TAF will address.

This month's Policy Paper will solidify the reason why TAF is needed. Join us in this collaborative endeavour as we define why TAF is not just an idea, but a crucial instrument for shaping Africa's destiny.

TAF Assembly Call for Volunteers

Our Assembly is the highest governance organ of TAF. Its principal role is to ensure that TAF remains true to the Pan-African spirit, principles and objectives of our charter, reflecting the voice of African people in our strategy and objectives and to hold our Cabinet and Executive to account for TAF's plans and progress. Since inception, TAF has been operating our Interim Assembly, overseen by our Interim Speaker. Having made considerable operational progress, TAF now wishes to expand the number of Assembly Members, in order to extend the effectiveness of our Assembly and to strengthen our institutional governance.

The Speaker of the TAF Assembly has issued a call for nominations and volunteers to join the ranks of Assembly Membership. Subject to selection and the TAF onboarding process, applications are open to any Members and non-Members who are aligned with TAF's Vision & Mission.
