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

As we conclude our exploration of democracy in Africa, this final week we will examine why Western democracy has struggled to take root in Africa while succeeding in places like India and other regions. We will also present The African Federation’s preliminary position on what democracy has truly meant for Africa, offering insights into its impact, limitations and potential for the future.

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 - Pride in African Culture

All Africans must have the freedom to practise the religion of their choice without persecution or prejudice, so long as this is done in a manner which doesn’t sow and nurse seeds of discord among African people, and is never at the cost of sweepingly discrediting our own African ways and beliefs. We acknowledge, embrace and jealously preserve the uplifting aspects of our rich cultural heritage and despise aspects that undermine our humanity and development.
