African Greens Academy

Over 40 delegates from 13 countries attended the African Greens Academy in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso on the 25th and 26th June. 

 As well the strategic development of the African Green Federation (AGF) and the AGF’s contribution as hosts of the upcoming Global Greens Congress, delegates discussed:

• how Green parties can be effective in countries where democracy is not fully established
• how to survive when not in parliament or government
• the role of young greens in combating pollution
• combating climate change
• use of social and traditional media
• the role of Greens in diaspora populations.

 The Academy was a great success and while each country and party has its own unique realities all delegates benefited from the ideas and experiences shared across the continent.
