ACTSA is a membership organisation campaigning with the people of southern Africa for the progression of justice, democracy and development in the region. We are democratically-led by our National Executive Committee and implement decisions made by our members and affiliates at our Annual General Meeting. Individuals can join ACTSA and organisations are able to affiliate to us. ACTSA was established in 1994 as the successor organisation to the Anti Apartheid Movement (AAM), to develop and promote solidarity in the UK and internationally with southern Africa. What ACTSA does ACTSA works to: promote and consolidate peace and democracy throughout southern Africa ensure that southern Africa remains a priority for the international community promote new bonds of solidarity to empower the people of southern Africa ensure the UK public are informed about developments in southern Africa mobilise support for the governments and people of southern Africa in their efforts to promote reconstruction and development throughout the region help shape and monitor the policies of governments and organisations such as the EU and the IMF, so they support the vision of a new southern Africa campaign so that trade, investment and aid relationships are beneficial to the region as a whole and do not reinforce existing inequalities. We believe that a comprehensive development approach based on justice and rights is paramount to long lasting peace and democracy in southern Africa. As part of our campaigning strategy we collaborate with a number of other organisations in areas of development and equality. Our current coalitions are: Stop AIDS Campaign Stop Climate Chaos Trade Justice Movement Stamp out Poverty Visit our campaigns section for details of our current campaigns.
