"TAF Ubuntu Celebrations"

This November, The African Federation celebrates Ubuntu, the spirit that reminds us “I am because we are.” Africa’s journey to becoming a superpower by 2050 depends on our shared strength, connection, and commitment to one another. Join us in honouring this powerful vision as we look toward the future together. Watch the video here.

Our theme for the month of November is
Ubuntu as a framework for African systems

November opens with a theme that takes us back to Africa’s core philosophy. Ubuntu. A way of life that recognises the wellbeing of one is tied to the wellbeing of all. Across much of Africa, this understanding guided how people led, traded, healed, governed and educated. It set the terms of justice, the pace of economies and even the relationship between humans and the environment. But as Africa adopted foreign systems of governance and economics, Ubuntu was gradually pushed to the side. To restore Ubuntu, we must rethink how we make policies and relate to one another.

This month’s Policy Paper explores how Ubuntu can serve as a practical framework for rebuilding African systems. It will look at how this philosophy can guide principles across seven vital domains: governance, economies, leadership, wellness, environment, justice and education. Africa already has this moral foundation, so there is no need to invent a new one. The challenge now is to make Ubuntu practical again. Join us as we unpack how Ubuntu can move from being a philosophy in spirit to becoming a guiding model for Africa’s renewal.
