Our theme for the month of July is
Silencing the Guns

Silencing the Guns continues to be our focus. This week, we turn our attention to the role of women and youth in peacebuilding. We will examine how these vital groups contribute to conflict resolution, promote social cohesion and drive sustainable peace initiatives. Highlighting their powerful contributions, we aim to show how empowering women and youth is essential for building stability and achieving long-term peace across Africa.

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.
