TAF Events on Zoom
TAF Uganda|What Ubuntu Means To Us
4pm WAT | 5pm CAT | 6pm EAT

Join TAF Uganda for an insightful session, “What Ubuntu Means to Us,” as we explore the profound impact of Ubuntu on leadership, community building, and African unity. This event will delve into how Ubuntu-the philosophy of shared humanity-guides our actions, connects us to one another, and shapes our vision for Africa’s future. Join us and be part of the conversation here.

Our theme for the month of November is
Ubuntu

November ushers in a powerful and timely theme for The African Federation (TAF): Ubuntu - "I am because we are." The principles of Ubuntu offer a pathway toward healing, unity and collective growth. This month, we will explore the transformative power of Ubuntu, highlighting how it can be a guiding principle for addressing Africa’s contemporary challenges, strengthening Pan-African solidarity and reclaiming the continent’s sovereignty and self-determination. We’ll also look at its relevance in shaping Africa’s approach to governance, climate change, economic development and conflict resolution, all with the aim of creating a more inclusive and united future for the continent.

This month's Policy Paper will focus on how Ubuntu can guide Africa toward greater unity and collective resilience. Africa can strengthen its institutions, advance inclusive governance and promote social cohesion by reaffirming Ubuntu as a guiding principle. Join us as we discuss how Ubuntu can be applied to modern-day issues and how it can help shape an Africa that thrives on mutual respect, collective responsibility and shared prosperity.

Our Principles - Learn What Works

To forge a robust and empowered Africa, we learn from what works and what doesn’t work. We look back for historical lessons, applying them to what we know today.
