Our theme for the month of October is
How should Africa respond to a climate crisis it didn't create?

This week, we explore the impact of climate change on Africa’s health systems. Rising temperatures, extreme weather events and shifting disease patterns are compounding existing health challenges across the continent. We will examine how African nations can strengthen healthcare infrastructure and implement climate-sensitive strategies to protect public health in the face of environmental change.

This month's Policy Paper will focus on how Africa can adapt to and mitigate the impacts of a crisis that threatens its development and prosperity. Join us in this collaborative endeavor as we discuss solutions that build resilience, advocate for climate justice and secure a sustainable future for Africa. we aim to highlight the importance of local involvement in crafting sustainable, homegrown solutions to safeguard Africa’s future.

Our Principles - Govern Locally with Eyes on Africa

We believe the people of Africa should have the right to live in accordance with our own customs and culture, choosing our own leaders. As such, ours will be an unrestrictive Federation in which the people choose leaders of their own to oversee local governance based on the wishes of local people. The African Federation therefore will have no jurisdiction over any one local administration or its resources, but equally represents and protects the interests of all African realms, regardless of size. When we bring together all African forces and resources as one, Africa is powerful, independent and free.
