TAF Events on Zoom
TAF Cameroon | The Contribution of Africa in Science & Tech
1pm GMT | 2pm WAT | 3pm CAT | 4pm EAT

The history of global innovation is often told through a narrow lens, frequently omitting the profound scientific and technological advancements that originated on the African continent. On April 5th, 2026, the Narrative Focus Unit of The African Federation will convene a landmark session to bridge this gap. We are gathering to dismantle the myth of a "technologically silent" Africa and instead, spotlight a legacy of sophisticated mathematics, celestial navigation, and metallurgical mastery that predates modern Western systems by centuries. Register here to be part of that discussion.

TAF Values - Tolerance

We cherish and value our diversity in origins and thought, while leveraging the same towards achieving the mission of The African Federation.
