"The African Federation"

"We [Africa] need no reminder of the wealth of our history and culture, of the abundance and beauty of our natural resources, of the infinite potential of our people and our continent, including the threats allied against us," states The African Federation CEO, Elisabeth Valerio. The African Federation is a politically non-aligned, non-profit foundation. It is structured as a single global entity with central resources and country chapters, primarily operating through five core focus areas: Economy, Environment, Governance, Narrative & Wellness.

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.
