Our theme for the month of July is
Silencing the Guns

Our theme remains centered on "Silencing the Guns". This week, our exploration shifts to the significant impact of civil society and community initiatives in promoting peace and stability across Africa. We aim to highlight the impactful contributions of civil society and community-driven initiatives by spotlighting their instrumental role in building a peaceful future where Africa flourishes united and prosperous.

This month's Policy Paper will solidify the reasons why the guns must be silenced. Join us in this collaborative endeavor as we define why the chorus of peace, unity and harmony must rise to ensure a better and more prosperous future for Africans.

Strategy 2035 - 2028 Objectives

TAF promises that by 2050, Africa will be a superpower, for the many rather than the few: by 2035, we plan to be the largest civil society organisation in Africa.

By December 2028, TAF will have become a globally recognised pan African thought leader with 5 Focus Units, 10 diaspora hubs, 56 country Chapters, 30,000 Members and the patent credibility for formidable scale. Our Members, through their Focus Units & Chapters, will be busy: advocating for policies, piloting on-the-ground initiatives & developing commercial models to transform the continent; and holding political leaders and other vested & self-serving interests to account - publicly, continentally, consistently & transparently - on each others’ behalf.
