The journey of Ubuntu and The African Federation culminates on November 30th with TAF Narrative's Ubuntu Grand Celebration! Together, we’ve explored Ubuntu’s force in driving real change across Africa. Now, we gather to confront the imposed narratives, embrace our communal power and reawaken Africa’s voice. This is not just a conversation; it’s our commitment to unity, leadership and African identity.

Our theme for the month of November is
Ubuntu

This week, we look into the relevance of Ubuntu in the modern world. In an era of globalisation, technological advancement and interconnected crises, Ubuntu’s focus on shared humanity, empathy and collective responsibility provides a vital framework for addressing contemporary challenges.

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.

Visit the TAF Online Community to read what we have gathered so far and share comments.

This Week's TAF FAQ - Why should I join TAF?

As Africans, we know that our continent and our people have infinite potential. We need a continent-wide system of civil leadership that creates, plans, projects and protects the unity of our people. One that amplifies and reconciles our authentic voice to ensure that we are heard. When you join TAF you become part of a catalytic system for change - an organization that will: demand respect for Africa on the world stage; hold political leaders to account; harness the latent potential of our continent; deliver measurable and sustainable progress; restore our pride, unite, empower and benefit all Africans. If you want to be part of this change, please join us.
