We integrate social policies and economic empowerment

A strong belief in social cohesion and economic justice

We envision justice and equality in Southern Africa. Together with others, we have committed ourselves to the building of a region where human rights, peace, and security reign supreme. We call for all human needs to be met. We work against inequality caused by colonial structures. We are against the concentration of wealth and capital in the hands of a few.

To increase the voice and power of people to act as agents for socio-economic and political justice in southern Africa by holding governments and corporations to account.

We believe in and uphold the following principles and values. We are united in our search for people-centered and sustainable alternatives to the current
corporate-dominated global financial, economic, and political system. For our effectiveness, we have looked at the world around us, and our strategy will be placed in this understanding.

01. Socio-Economic Justice

Our region continues to suffer from high incidences of poverty, rising inequality, and crippling unemployment.

02. Extractivism and Environmental and Climate Justice

Despite contributing 3% of historical GHG emissions, Africa is the most vulnerable continent to climate change impacts.

03. Civic Space and Democratization

We agree with the CIVICUS Civic Space Monitor for 2023 that, globally, people power is under attack.
