Pan Afrikan Solidarity Centre
advocating for justice, organizing for transformation
Established as a critical source for developing group and organisational capacities, the Moyo wa Taifa Solidarity Centre is a dynamic and innovative project dedicated to the popularisation of alternative information and programs on Pan Afrikan development.
Guided by the motto advocating for justice, organizing for transformation, the Solidarity Centre is structured as a multi-purpose community resource space and capacity building facility for advocates, organisers, groups, organisations and institutions.
The Solidarity Centre is a work-in-progress which will operate as a service base, information network and capacity building Pan Afrikan resource base.
The Moyo wa Taifa vision is to develop Pan-Afrikan resource centres which operate as citizen’s hubs and provide autonomous space and facilities.
The Accra Solidarity Centre is the 1st of what we hope will be many of such dynamic and innovative people’s institutions located all over the Afrikan world.
As a foundation building block of the Moyo wa Taifa program, Solidarity Centres will reflect a new kind of politics based on people-centred perspectives as a material basis for collaboration and international solidarity.
Information is an essential commodity for the growth and development of all areas of human endeavour. It is even more so for groups and communities engaged in organising for the transformation of society. In Afrika and other parts of the exploited world, lack of information remains an effective tool of underdevelopment, still used today as it was during colonial rule. As the saying goes, knowledge is power. Indeed, tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today! Services at the Solidarity Centre will include;
- Training and capacity building programs
- Media advocacy, sign-posting and information services
- Meeting space for educational programs
- Office space for campaign and advocacy projects
- Hosting visiting groups, study tours and exchange programs
- Cultural space for events, exhibitions and screenings
