What has democracy meant for Africa
*Our theme for the month of August*

As we continue our exploration of democracy's meaning for Africa, this week we turn our attention to the governance structures that existed across African societies before colonisation, highlighting the rich traditions and systems that shaped the continent’s leadership and decision-making processes.

We will also examine the evolution of representative government in Africa, discussing its influence on modern democratic practices and how it has shaped the political landscape of the continent..

This month's Policy Paper will illuminate the true meaning of democracy for Africa. Join us in this collaborative endeavor as we find out how democratic principles have influenced governance, shaped societies across the continent and whether democracy is truly working for us.

Our Values - Leadership & Ownership

Africa must be restored by Africans. No other nation will work to support our mission of becoming a powerful global force. Many will work against it so we must own with steely resolve, an unwavering commitment to securing the Africa we want, one that can neither be despised nor bullied. We must lead at the frontlines of our restoration, individually, and collectively. As African people, we are not unified for purposes of taking a stand against any other nation(s) or race but against anyone who intends or whose actions serve to possess the Africa that is ours.
