"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

Ubuntu already exists in many corners of African life, but the question now is how to take what works in small communities and apply it to systems that serve millions. We really need to understand the principles behind them and find modern ways to apply those same principles in governance, economics, education, wellness, justice and environmental management.

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.

How TAF is Organised - Cabinet

The Cabinet is composed of the Executive Committee and non-executive members. The non-executive Cabinet members, including its chairperson, are appointed by the Assembly, to whom the Cabinet will be accountable, in accordance with our charter. The Cabinet is responsible for approval and oversight of execution of strategic plans and for approval of major deviations therefrom, for approval of all senior executive appointments and for oversight of robust organisational governance and controls. Cabinet delegates management of the organisation to the Executive Committee and may defer certain decisions to the Assembly.
