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 - 2035 Objectives

TAF promises that by 2050, Africa will be a superpower, for the many rather than the few.

By December 2035, TAF will have become the largest civil society organisation in Africa with 10 million Members globally and the patent scale & capability to catalyse the changes we expect. Collectively: we will have set out effective solutions to our challenges, the changes required to enable their implementation and the definition of success at 2050; and we will be exposing political and other self-serving interests across the continent to an overwhelming level of scrutiny & accountability.
