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

As we conclude our exploration of "Why TAF is Needed," we look into the critical roles and the importance of leadership in driving Africa's development and unity.

We also explore the concept of neocolonialism and its impact on the continent. Understanding how external influences and economic dependencies continue to shape the continent is important for addressing the systemic challenges that hinder efforts towards African unity, true independence and sustainable development.

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.
